As of September 2024, Russia has committed more than 6,000 environmental crimes on the territory of Ukraine, the damage caused is estimated at 2.6 – 2.7 trillion UAH.
The Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Svitlana Grynchuk informed about this in an interview with Ukrinform.
“More than 6,000 different cases have already been recorded. According to estimates, this is somewhere between 2.6-2.7 trillion hryvnias. The damage caused to the environment is one of the largest in monetary terms, because it is a huge amount of damaged and destroyed agricultural land, forest lands of nature conservation and industrial status, polluted basins of our water arteries,” Grynchuk said.
According to her, fires are recorded every day on hundreds of hectares of forests, which cannot be extinguished using traditional means due to mining. The number of mined forests is estimated at 0.5 million hectares.
Grynchuk adds that currently 20% of nature conservation areas of Ukraine are under occupation or in the war zone. According to the estimates of the ministry’s specialists, the estimated damage to the nature reserve fund of Ukraine amounts to almost 650 billion UAH.
Ukraine is investigating 271 war crimes against the environment committed by Russia since the beginning of the full-scale war against our country, including 15 cases of ecocide.
Law enforcement officers have launched an investigation into ecocide after the occupiers blew up the Kakhovskaya HPP.
