Abstract
Abstract. The article raises the resonant issue of the environmental consequences of the aggressive military actions of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in 2022-2023, in particular in the context of the need to document them and provide sufficient coverage to attract the attention of specialized organizations dealing with environmental protection and the international community. The authors provide concrete examples of the devastating impact on Ukrainian nature and ecosystem, including the shelling of residential and critical infrastructure, mining of a large part of the country's south and east, and contamination of soil and water bodies by shells. The article also attempts to predict how long it will take to eliminate the consequences of these impacts. The authors also analyze the level of coverage of this issue in the global and Ukrainian media and communication and propose mechanisms for greater coverage of this range of problems, including the involvement of specialized environmental organizations, activists, and opinion leaders. The article is an important contribution to the study of the environmental consequences of military conflicts and may be useful for researchers in both environmental and political sciences, public and government officials working in this field, as well as representatives of the political establishment.
