The state of the environment in the conditions of the full-scale war of the russian federation against Ukraine

Introduction. The full-scale war of the russian federation against Ukraine has been going on for more than 3 years, which has caused catastrophic humanitarian and environmental losses and has led to unpredictable consequences for human health and the environment. Aim. Analysis of current threats to the environment in the conditions of a full-scale war of the russian federation against Ukraine. Materials and Methods. Analytical review of open sources of information and materials of scientific libraries PubMed, Elsevier, etc. The methods of systematic, comparative and content analysis were used. Results. In addition to huge human losses, the full-scale war of russian federation against Ukraine had a devastating impact on the natural environment, as evidenced by pollution of air, water sources, soils, destruction of landscapes and ecosystems. Preliminary short-term damage to the environment is estimated at 56.4 billion dollars. The long-term impact of pollution on human health and natural ecosystems can be assessed only after the end of the war. The key threats to the human environment in the conditions of a full-scale war are: destructive impact on natural resources and pollution of air, soils and water sources with persistent organic and inorganic compounds; increasing Ukraine's vulnerability to climate change and weakening its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; increasing real chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats to human health and the environment. Conclusions. The consequences of russian federation full-scale war against Ukraine will be the subject of scientific research for many years, aimed at finding effective tools to protect human health and the environment from the effects of war.
