Pripyat and Chernobyl are in Ukraine :)

There are (or were?) guided tours, but for a really good view of what it's like there, I recommend Shiey's Journey Across Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

He's a Lithuanian YouTuber and thrill-seeker who illegally went there and had to run from security at one point, too. He found lots of signs of other "Stalkers," including a group in the flesh that invited him for dinner.

I wonder if he was trying to say invading forces might want to kick him out.
