Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shattered millions of lives, but environmental activists also worry the ecological damage to their country will be irreversible.
“It’s actually a huge risk for the whole world,” said Evgenia Zasiadko who heads up the environmental crimes team at Kyiv-based EcoAction, a non-governmental organization that pushes for green policy in Ukraine.
Zasiadko has escaped Ukraine, finding a route from Kharkiv to safety in a country she is not disclosing due to security concerns after enduring days of heavy shelling and airstrikes.
She’s keeping watch from a distance, determined to hold Russia accountable for environmental damage in Ukraine.
