Most of them will be MIA and the families will blame Ukraine for this, not the recklessness of their commanders forcing the soldiers to enter that contaminated area. So many of the Ukrainians warned something like this could happen when they freaked out at the Russians taking that area and the callous way they treated the Chernobyl workers at the remainder of the power plant, keeping them from having shift changes as usual.
