“Every day, the Russian occupation forces cause irreparable damage to the environment of Ukraine, and this will have catastrophic consequences in the future. The ecological burden of the war will be felt by the Ukrainian people for decades. It is important to convey the truth not only about how the Russians destroy Ukrainian cities, kill and abuse peaceful residents, treat prisoners of war, and spread fakes and lies.
