On Tuesday, MEPs will discuss with EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell the environmental destruction caused by Russia in its war against Ukraine. Russia's war has caused massive air, water, land and soil pollution, as well as significant damage to ecosystems, with the risk of spillover into neighbouring countries. Estimates based on Ukraine's environmental inspections show that Russia's invasion has inflicted roughly €52.4 billion in environmental damage. Russia’s destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, causing catastrophic flooding and submerging thousands of hectares of land, has been condemned by the EU as an act of ‘ecocide’. In the debate with EU diplomacy Chief Borrell, MEPs are set to highlight the importance of holding Russia accountable, , with Ukraine having stated its determination to make Russia pay reparations for the environmental damage.
