The 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster is a solemn time of remembrance for Ukraine and for people around the world. On April 26, 1986, an explosion at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant released radioactive contamination across vast regions, forever changing lives, communities, and landscapes.

We honour the courage of those who responded and remember all who suffered because of this tragic accident. This anniversary is a quiet moment to reflect and to remember.
