Today, the study of ecocide and genocide is of great importance.Since the Russian Federation's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the latter has suffered many losses, including among the civilian population, which in turn has signs of genocide, and is daily subjected to nuclear blackmail and other threats and damages, the realization of which is regarded as ecocide.
 Ecocide and genocide are grave crimes against humanity that are recognized internationally and require significant efforts to prevent them in the future. According to international and national law, ecocide and genocide are punishable by liability, including reparations for the damage caused. Such responsibility pursues two main goals: punishment for crimes committed and creating an example of consequences that will influence the legal consciousness of society in the direction of preserving peace and environmental safety.
 The prosecution for ecocide and genocide, which is currently being carried out in Ukraine by the political and military elite of the Russian Federation, should be no exception. Despite the fact that the military conflict in Ukraine has actually been going on since 2014, the Russian Federation has not yet paid any reparations. In addition, no decision has been made that would impose an obligation on the aggressor state to pay such reparations in favor of Ukraine.
 Currently, the process of paying reparations to Ukraine has been significantly intensified, which is a positive sign for both Ukraine and the entire civilized world. In this regard, the study of historical examples of reparations for ecocide and genocide is also becoming relevant because, in particular, it will help to determine the general vision of the mechanism for making such payments, and at the theoretical level will serve as a basis for the formation of Ukrainian state policy on bringing the aggressor to justice in the form of payment of an appropriate amount of money for the damage caused by military operations.
