The article reviews the environmental impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022. The conflict has resulted in significant human casualties, displacement, and economic damage, with over 500,000 military personnel killed or wounded and more than 30,000 civilians killed or injured. The war has also displaced over 11 million people and caused extensive damage to civilian infrastructure, including healthcare, agriculture, food supply, water and sanitation, energy, and transportation. The environmental consequences are equally devastating, with over $56.4 billion in damage to the environment, widespread chemical contamination of air, water, and soil, and 30% of Ukraine contaminated with landmines and unexploded ordnance. The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam has been a major humanitarian and ecological disaster, affecting water supply, agriculture, and wildlife. The war has also disrupted Ukraine's economy, reduced food and energy security, and increased vulnerability to climate change. International law mandates that methods of warfare must protect and preserve the natural environment, but Russia has violated these principles. The article calls for a just and lasting peace, including the withdrawal of Russian forces, reparations, and the rebuilding and restoration of Ukraine's natural and built environments. It also highlights the need for more effective measures to protect the environment during war and to hold accountable those responsible for environmental damage.The article reviews the environmental impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022.
