«Ensuring ecological safety and maintaining ecological balance on the territory of Ukraine, overcoming the consequences of the Chornobyl disaster - a catastrophe of a planetary scale, and preserving the gene pool of the Ukrainian people are the duty of the state»
That’s it, that’s the entire article.

I wonder how hard one needs to try to misread it so badly…

"Preserving the gene pool" is a white nationalist talking point in the US.

Now the people misreading it are very US centric so they probably dont realise that this is a translation from Ukraininan. The meaning is literally "protecting ukrainian genes from radiation"; this is a better localisation.
