State land monitoring includes: land monitoring; soil monitoring; monitoring of land relations; land market monitoring.The military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine caused extreme damage to the environment, including the soil.

The collected, summarized and analyzed information based on the results of the indicated monitoring will be the basis for making decisions regarding the specifics of conservation or reclamation of such lands depending on the type of pollution and the approval of the National Program for the Restoration of Lands and Soils of Ukraine in the post-war period.
