In Donetsk region, the environmental inspectorate recorded 24 cases of environmental pollution as a result of Russian shelling of Kurakhivska TPP worth almost UAH 1 billion.
This was reported by the State Environmental Inspectorate in Donetsk Oblast.
It is noted that environmental inspectors calculated the damage caused by the pollution of land resources at Kurakhivska TPP as a result of armed Russian aggression and hostilities. They recorded 14 cases of land contamination with oil products and destruction waste.
The amount of damage caused was over UAH 986 million.
The Inspectorate also calculated the damage caused by air pollution as a result of shelling of the territory. The total amount exceeds UAH 1 million.
The State Ecological Inspectorate reports that the information has already been transferred to the Operational Headquarters to form a unified register of environmental damage caused by armed aggression, as well as to law enforcement agencies for further recording of the facts of negative environmental impact caused by Russia's military aggression and possible criminal proceedings.
"In the future, the calculated losses should become the basis for charging the aggressor country with all the damage caused to the environment of Ukraine," the inspection emphasizes.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Sumy Oblast eco-inspection recorded more than 200 cases of environmental damage as a result of Russian shelling in the amount of almost 3 billion hryvnias.
