Maksym Borodin has spent much of the past decade battling for an improved quality of life in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. Today, his city is fighting for its very survival.
That progress now looks set to be lost amid the rubble of this city of more than 400,000 people, as Russian forces besiege it and satellite images show utter devastation.
Before the Russian invasion, Borodin, an activist turned politician, was among those who felt that, however slowly, progress was being made on environmental and climate issues in Ukraine.
But as the war enters its third week, the fighting is leaving an ever growing trail of humanitarian and environmental destruction, and the hopes of many environmentalists have largely been put on hold as they scramble to protect their families and defend their country.
In its most recent report on 5 March, it said there was “growing concern” over the environmental threats that the highly destructive war posed in a heavily industrialised country. “War damages ecosystems,” Mr Savenets says. “War is a great source of air, soil and water pollution.”
These problems have already reversed environmental progress, he adds, and will need to be solved before Ukraine can re-implement its environmental policies. But, he says, he still holds out hope that when the war ends, Ukrainians will build back better and faster.

Now lets hear about the persecuted trans people.
“Now lets hear about the persecuted trans people.”
Indeed, you nailed it.
It’s Yahoo. Makes MSNBC seem almost intelligent.
Enough with the Green crap. Just do it!
ROFL Greenness is the least of their problems.
That happens when Avoz puts it’s HQ in your city. Nazis never improve anything really.
John Kerry is sad.
I can’t believe this isn’t THE BEE Bump.
Maybe AirheadOCommie needs to go lecture them on all the CO2 being released.
Did you say “persecuted trans people” in the Ukraine?:

War propaganda reaches new lows!
These are the writers that will complain that nuclear war will mess up their makeup.
Mariupol now:
the good news is that there will be lots of rebuilding, and that tends to help economy.
If they want a “green city”, don’t rebuild anything. It will support about 15 people, with minimal gas emissions...
You want Greta’s take?
no problem...

I really like this logic
“Oil companies will benefit from the much longer flight paths too, as Russia/Belarus and the Western world have closed their respective airspaces on one another”
Yes, the real tragedy of Mariupol’s destruction is the damage to the environment and climate.

Ukraine has bought into global warming?
There is a connection between the nazis and the greenie movement. An early incipient tree hugging movement that sprang up in Germany in the 1890’s. Called the Wandervogel movement. It morphed into the German Youth movement, which morphed into the Hitler youth. The Wondervogel had an idealised view of nature and rejected what they saw as the ills caused by the industrial revolution. A cult of young tree huggers who change society radically ( Thunberg ring a bell). They were into hiking boots and khaki. Their fav greeting of each other was ‘Heil’.
Putin has a lot of carbon taxes to pay.
