ECOCIDE

Right now, at this very moment, Russia is committing ecocide, destroying all that is alive. Russia’s influence on the Ukrainian sea violates UN principles. It will take decades, if not centuries, to restore the Black and Azov Seas’ ecosystems. The world must hold Russia accountable. Nature knows no borders; The longer the war persists, the more it will damage the environment, with far-reaching consequences for our future. The world must not remain passive. By Lera Koptseva
