Eco-inspectors have estimated 1.45 million hryvnias in damages from the soil littering with destruction waste after the Russian shelling of the Mykolaiv National University named after V. O. Sukhomlynskyi.

The buildings of the institution were hit by two rockets, namely on July 5 and August 2, 2022, the State Environmental Inspection of the South-West District reports on Facebook.

"The calculation was carried out on the basis of the "Methodology for determining the amount of damage caused to land and soil as a result of emergency situations and/or armed aggression and hostilities during martial law", approved by the order of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine dated 04.04.2022 No. 167," the message says.
