Ukraine has intensified its efforts to tackle environmental concerns following the ratification of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union in 2014. However, Ukraine has taken several steps to protect and revitalise its natural resources, integrate environmental concerns into its economic development strategies, and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly economy. Since Russia's invasion in 2022, Ukraine's economic and environmental growth has been hampered, threatening its autonomy, ecological consciousness, and sustainable future. A large percentage of the population has been under siege or forced relocation due to the humanitarian situation, which has caused the deaths of thousands. Significant environmental repercussions have been detected. This study critically examines the environmental effects of the Russian-Ukraine War. This research initially covers eastern industrial dangers, the possibility of a second Chernobyl nuclear disaster, global wheat farming issues, and conflictrelated environmental degradation. This paper argues that the Russia-Ukraine war threatens climate security. This paper also suggested ways to reduce the conflict's environmental impact. Lastly, this work submits that the challenge of post-war rebuilding will be enormous and will call for an all-encompassing, wellplanned, and adequately funded endeavour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
