In Sumy region, the fire at the Trostyanets chocolate factory, which lasted for more than a day in March 2022, caused damage to the environment amounting to 10.6 million hryvnias.
The incident took place during the temporary occupation of the city of Trostyanets, and the russian military did not allow rescuers to enter the territory of the factory for extinguishing, reports the State Inspectorate on Facebook.
SEI in the Sumy region processed information about the negative impact on the environment as a result of the actions of the russian occupiers on the territory of Mondelis Ukraine.
Several fires broke out at the factory, which destroyed about 13,000 m2 of the biscuit production building, 900 m2 of the tented warehouse, as well as 265 m2 of the procurement area.
