On Thursday and Friday, March 9-10, the Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management will hold an on-site meeting in Kharkiv and the region.
The meeting will be devoted to the topic "Environmental problems and damage caused by the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine," the committee's website says.
It is noted that the meeting is part of the Work Plan of the Eco Committee for the period of the ninth session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the ninth convocation. The plan approved by the Committee's Decision No. 151/9 of January 18, 2023 (as amended on February 15, 2023).
"More details about the meeting will be provided additionally," the message reads.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in the Kharkiv region, the Oskil reservoir, located in the Izyum and Kupyan districts, was on the verge of an ecological disaster. Russian troops destroyed the dam and the water flowed into the Svirskyi Donets River, which caused the water level in the reservoir to drop 6 times in November.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, Oleg Bondarenko, head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management, took 6th place in the top 12 ranking of the greatest reformers among people's deputies of Ukraine.
