> Cancer rate is 2.5x larger at average in four regions of Ukraine, which are near to Chornobyl.

Citation needed. WHO says up to 4000 early cancer deaths total from Chernobyl. 2.5x larger cancer fatalities would be hundreds of thousands if not millions of people which is not seen by any credible study that I'm aware of.

My ex grew up in Gomel and didn't get cancer. Neither did her parents.

My brothers were unable to escape. Younger brother had problems with thyroid, but survived. (I had problems with thyroid too, but at much smaller scale). Older brother had brain surgery about two months ago, but it's unknown is it helped or not yet.
