Andriy Yermak, the head of the office of the president of Ukraine, met with representatives of ecology and environment-focused European civil society organizations on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of taking legal action against Russia for environmental crimes in Ukraine, according to a release from the president's office.
The environmental crimes in question were those caused as a result of the current war between Russia and Ukraine. "The damage that has already been done to the Ukrainian ecosystem amounts to billions of dollars. This should become part of the reparations we will demand from Russia," said Andriy Yermak. Yermak also pointed out that environmental protection is one of President Volodymyr Zelensky's ten points in his peace plan.
