The war beats on ecology: the expert warned Ukrainians about the threat of earthquakes and floods

He reported that the war causes "extremely great damage at all levels", in particular: as a result of such fires, a huge amount of toxic gases that can cause acid rain. These rains poison the soil and groundwater, and also cause burns to plants. "Fighting can cause a deterioration of the flood and flood situation. However, first of all, this will happen in cases where a man -made natural object is destroyed through hostilities," the expert warned.

He recalled the consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which led to a reservoir. Floods can occur indirectly. In addition, thousands of hectares of forest have already been destroyed in Ukraine. This leads to catastrophic droughts, wind erosion and blowing the topsoil. "Probably, we will observe these phenomena.

Actually, we have already seen them in recent years in eastern Ukraine, where it is very common to see dust tornadoes over the warfare area," Pavelko said. According to the expert, there are no data on the fighting of earthquakes, but there are such risks in the Donbass. He explained that the territory is very tightly saturated with man -made objects. Strugged weapons can cause mines and flooding, as well as man -made earthquakes.

"They are usually more local, but the consequences can be really devastating," the ecologist emphasized. Recall that agrarians are concerned due to lack of rains and the impact of dry weather on a number of crops. Natalia Ptukha's weatherman told whether this "not very good" situation in some regions will change during the week. UNPP Chairman Anton Drobyovych told about three variants of the fate of the former "Friendship Arch of Peoples" in Kiev.
