The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has revealed the scope of ecological harm suffered by Kyiv and the adjacent area because of Russian UAV strikes.
Throughout June 2025, considerable Russian UAV assaults resulted in substantial ecological harm to Kyiv and the surrounding vicinity. The atmosphere of the capital region received 1,902 tons of hazardous compounds.
The media division of the Ministry of Environmental Safety and Natural Resources of Ukraine communicated this information. A widespread conflagration involving combustibles, construction materials, synthetics, and machinery was documented.
“In June 2025, Kyiv and the Kyiv region stood at the center of one of the most catastrophic Russian UAV offensives. In a span of merely a couple of days, precisely on June 6 and 10, 1,902 tons of noxious elements were discharged into the air across the capital’s territory. According to initial assessments, ecological harm surpassed 5.7 million hryvnias,” the declaration expressed.
As Mindovkilli indicated, each of these instances encompassed unregulated pollutant emissions into the air—absent of purification, under wartime circumstances.
The department's communications office accentuated that Russian acts of terror not only dismantle infrastructure, but likewise consistently impair the environment, taint the air quality, and originate enduring health hazards for the inhabitants of the capital.
