HI, I am looking for platforms to put my indie games. I already have on Gamejolt and Itch.io. I searched for more and came GOG. But, I can't find on the web how to put my game there.

Just so you're aware, you can't put games on GOG like you can on Itch. You have to go through a submission process, and if they don't want your game, they won't bother to tell you. This will sound harsh, but having looked at your games on Itch, I'd strongly recommend not bothering; GOG won't accept them. It's great that you're interested in game dev, but you'll need to level up your skills quite a bit before you can consider selling a game. Keep practicing and putting games on Itch.

Hey, are you sure publishing anything in Unity is a good idea, given the recent news and radioactive fallout?

You can always try. But like eric5h5 said, GOG does exercise curation and they don't make the criteria behind it public knowledge. All we do know is the vast majority of the small-time indie titles which populate Itch don't make it here (in my personal opinion that's actually a good thing, but others may not agree).
You've also got to ask yourself why you want to publish it here on GOG anyway. Unless the game is doing super-strong on Itch and it's time to spread your wings, having it available on other platforms isn't going to do you many favours. You're probably better off advertising your game on social media etc to increase its visibility on Itch alone, which is the platform most sympathetic to small indie devs. I can all but guarantee that those who like your game here will already have an active Itch account. *shrug*
Start small on Itch first. If you turn out something really fantastic THEN consider other platforms.

You can't put your game here unless GOG chooses to allow you to do so.
