Since the beginning of hostilities in the region, 10,856 residential buildings have been damaged

Eco-inspectors have estimated 273.4 million hryvnias in damages to the environment from the shelling of residential buildings in the Mykolaiv region since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

This is reported by the State Environmental Inspection of the South-Western District on Facebook.

The message emphasized that the calculated amount takes into account:

  • damages from atmospheric air pollution due to fires;
  • contamination of land resources with construction waste.

It is noted that according to the information of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, since the beginning of hostilities in the territory of the region, 16,642 civilian objects have been partially or completely damaged, of which 10,856 are housing objects.

Earlier, EcoPolitic reported, that eco-inspectors have calculated more than 562 million hryvnias in damages from land pollution with demolition waste in the Mykolaiv region during July-September 2022. Debris of buildings of higher and secondary education institutions from rocket strikes generated more than 10 tons of waste.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, in the Mykolaiv region, repeated shelling by Russian troops of the State Enterprise "Mykolaiv Forestry" caused large-scale fires that caused damage to the environment in the amount of more than 111 million hryvnias. Due to fires, a large amount of harmful substances got into the air.
