How the Ukrainian army protects the nature of Ukraine

December 6, 2022
Defenders of Ukraine not only protect Ukrainian land and Ukrainians, but also our wild nature.
How exactly?
Scientists are well aware of how the Russian terrorist regime barbarically destroyed natural values in all the lands it occupied for 8 years, turning even the most valuable natural territories into military bases.
The bloody dictatorship of the terrorist regime of Russia not only destroys democratic values, culture and human freedom, but also literally grinds nature. Even the most valuable territories of wild nature are treated there as nothing more than raw materials to strengthen the military potential of the occupying country.

Russian Defense Minister Shoigu’s letter to Putin “About felling in the territories of a special military operation” perfectly illustrates Russia’s attitude to nature.
The purpose of the document was to obtain a permit for the total felling of Ukrainian “forests, trees, shrubs, and green spaces. Fellings of any intensity and any age were planned on the seized lands, regardless of the form of ownership and category of land with the right to use the obtained wood.” Letter made public by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
No peaceful community voice, appeal from the scientific community, or public opposition could stop this terrorist military dictatorship.
We, the nature conservation community, perfectly understand that if there is no independent and free Ukraine, our wild nature will turn into raw material for the aggressor.
December 6 is the day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Taking this opportunity, we once again want to thank our defenders from the Armed Forces and from other services, who are today loyally and heroically protecting our land, our lives and our nature. Thank you!
