RUSSIAN ARMED AGGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE – THE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE TEMPORARILY OCCUPIED TERRITORIES

Besides killing and injuring dozens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens, expelling hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, seizing and destroying infrastructure, Russia has inflicted large-scale environmental damage in the occupied territories. Thus, as a result of the occupation of Crimea, the situation with fresh water on the peninsula is rapidly deteriorating, which can significantly change the ecosystem in the future.
