40 YEARS SINCE CHERNOBYL AMID WAR: ZELENSKY ACCUSES RUSSIA OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM
Wildlife returns to Chernobyl, but war endangers the zone anew
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
The Times of India distinguished itself with an original angle: scientific reporting on wildlife recovery in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Wolves, lynx, European bison, and Przewalski's horses: nature has reclaimed territory absent of human activity since 1986. However, the war threatens this balance—drones, land mines, and soldiers traverse the zone again. The article cited the 2006 IAEA report concluding that human absence had more positive impact on animal populations than radiation had negative effects.
