The occupiers mined a large number of hydrotechnical structures in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions and blow them up every day in the territories counterattacked by Ukrainian troops.
This was stated by the representative of the Department of Environmental Security and Mine Action of the Ministry of Defense, Major Vladyslav Dudar, reports the Military Media Center in Telegram.
This happened during the round table "Earth crippled by war: how to restore the soil after hostilities and the disaster at the Kakhovskaya HPP?".
Dudar explained that the consequences of these actions are not large-scale yet, because the enemies are undermining small hydrotechnical structures. The agricultural lands of one or two villages suffer from each such blast, but this happens regularly.
He also added that the damage to the environment due to the bombing of military facilities by the occupiers reached 298 billion hryvnias in 2022 alone. In 2023, about 40 such objects have already been surveyed.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the Russian occupiers blew up on Sunday, June 11 dam on the Mokri Yala River in the area of the village of Novodarivka in the Zaporizhzhia region, and on June 6 – Kakhovska HPP.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, Russians are in Armyansk in the occupied Crimea the chemical plant Crimean Titan was mined and preparing the evacuation of representatives of the occupation administration and the local population. A terrorist attack on an enterprise would mean a large-scale man-made man-made catastrophe.
