«Life in Ukraine was divided into «before» and «after» the 26th of April 1986. We can say with confidence it affected every Ukrainian family in one or another way. No doubt, the state, as well as all the Ukrainians, will commemorate the deeds of those people who helped to eliminate the consequences [of the Chornobyl accident - ed.], who fought the disaster in the first days, and who fought over the subsequent years. Indeed, the employees who work here today are still overcoming the consequences of what occurred 35 years ago», — Mr. Borukhovskyi said at a briefing.
In addition, Bohdan Borukhovskyi described the Ministry's vision in the field of the Exclusion Zone development and plans to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the tragedy.
