Korean nuke conflict could make Chernobyl look like “child’s fairytale” – Putin
The fallout of a nuclear conflict on the Korean Peninsula would cause far greater devastation than the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, was reported as saying.
“I would make no secret about it, we are worried about the escalation on the Korean peninsula, because we are neighbors,” he told a joint news conference with German Chancellor Merkel in Germany.
“And if, God forbid, something happens, Chernobyl which we all know a lot about, may seem like a child’s fairy tale. Is there such a threat or not? I think there is… I would urge everyone to calm down… and start to resolve the problems that have piled up for many years there at the negotiating table.”

The tensions have been mounting since the United Nations imposed new sanctions against the North in response to Pyongyang’s third nuclear test in February. NK’s anger has further been compounded by weeks of joint military exercises by SK and U.S. troops.
