Widow
Last edited Fri Jan 23, 2026, 07:14 PM - Edit history (1)
I recently saw the widow of the 1st Chernobyl victim was killed in a Russian drone strike. Her husband Valerii Khodemchuk was in the reactor room during the explosion and his body was never recovered.
Incredibly sad ending for his wife Nataliia.
