To be honest, I did not understand at all what does the east of Ukraine have to do with it

The radioactive slick covered the northern part of Ukraine, then went to Belarus and further to Europe. The east of Ukraine did not suffer from the consequences of this accident!
Exactly my point, your prayers of not witnessing such an event for myself are about 40 years too late
I will return to the Chernobyl tragedy - you can feed the hungry, warm the freezing, and hundreds of thousands in Ukraine alone who are sick and dying from oncology, as the consequences of this catastrophe, you will not be able to fix it.
People don't die from oncology, just like they don't die from stomatology, if you plan on using terms that you're not familiar with first make sure what they mean.
If you are so humane - yes to hell with that, let's feed everyone? Well, really - why do you need more than 1 pair of sneakers in your life? 2-3 T-shirts are also enough - just wash them carefully, in cold water of course, environmentally friendly - with sand or ash

I was really getting concerned that the socialist side of your wasn't coming out so I was thinking something was off.
So your solution is not providing bread to everyone but make sure
nobody has cake.
As usual, the immediate concern is not the ones that have nothing but the ones that have too much, first let's get rid of the kulaks, and then let's see if we can solve poverty. Oh wait, since we're all not poor as hell, it means nobody is poor we're equal! Problem solved!
How about rather than focusing on the number of pairs I have a focus on the number of pairs everyone could have without pointing a gun at somebody else?
I would rather side with stompix here. The Chernobyl tragedy happened because of the mismanagement from the Soviet authorities. The only noticeable nuclear accident that has occurred in the last three decades is Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan.
Which on top of that happened because of a 14 meters tall wave that got over the sea wall after the earthquake.
Now, when was the last major 7 Richter scale earthquake and 15-meter tsunami in France, Germany, Poland or....Switzerland?
But isn't stupidity wonderful?
European gas price surge prompts switch to coalI wonder why they don't rely on solar...oh wait, it's nearly winter in most of Europe and we get about 3-4 hours of peak sun here.
