Dead dolphins: how nature became another casualty of the Ukraine war

Often overlooked amid the human suffering, Russia is inflicting lasting damage on wildlife and globally important wetlands

Excerpt from this story from The Guardian:

Every spring for the past 30 years, conservationists at the Tuzly Lagoons national park on the Black Sea in Ukraine have been digging shallow channels from the coastal lagoons down to the shoreline, linking the bodies of water together.

The rivulets, which used to occur naturally until industrial agriculture plugged the small rivers that fed them, are a busy through-route for billions of small fish, which winter in the sea then return to the lagoons to breed.

This year, there will be no digging. The beaches are now littered with mines, laid by the Ukrainian army to ward off a Russian offensive. Researchers have had to abandon decades of work, and the consequences for the more than 5,000 herons that feed in the lagoons each spring could be disastrous.

“For 30 years, we organised scientists to do restoration in this area, to save this steppe and support this exchange of water. Now there is no entrance from the Black Sea, no migration of these fish, and the egrets need to eat them,” says Ivan Rusev, the park’s head of research. “It really is a tragedy.”

It is just one of innumerable environmental casualties in Ukraine, many of which will persist in a country already devastated by the human and economic toll of war for years after the conflict ends. With some of the most intense fighting occurring on the southern coast, experts warn that marine and wetland environments along the Black and Azov Seas face a particular threat.

Oleksandr Krasnolutskyi, Ukraine’s deputy minister of environmental protection and natural resources, says: “Almost 400,000 hectares and 14 Ramsar sites [wetlands designated to be of international importance by Unesco] along the coastline and lower reaches of the Dnipro river are under threat.”

SBU identified 8 more rashists who committed atrocities in the Kyiv region

Among them are 5 servicemen from Russia and three Wagnerians.

They are suspected of killing civilians, shelling and burning houses, capturing, torturing and keeping people in basements without food or water.

Several episodes in which they are involved: during the temporary occupation of the Kyiv region, the invaders broke into the house of the headman of the village of Motyzhin. The family was tortured trying to get information about the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Teroborona fighters.

The executioners cruelly mocked their son in front of his mother, shot him in the leg. Having received no information, they killed him with a shot in the head. They also tortured the elder's husband. The whole family died.

Residents cut off mobile communications in Melitopol

Residents cut off mobile communications in Melitopol

A large convoy of Russian military equipment passed through the city in the direction of Kherson, which became one of the reasons for the blocking of communications, Zaporizhia OVA wrote. In Melitopol, the occupiers killed cellular communications, primarily, due to the redeployment of military equipment. This was announced on May 25 by Zaporizhia OVA. It was noted that the other day, a large…

Bucha. It used to be a really nice middle-class town with comfortable houses, all kinds of shopping malls and grocery stores. Gyms, pubs, places to groom your dog. Parks to walk. Things to see. Located on the western outskirt of Kyiv, it became a place for high-intensity combat when the Russian army invaded in February. Just like neighbouring Gostomel and Irpin. In Bucha, Russian soldiers did to Ukrainian civilians what soldiers of so called “Republika Srpska” did to Bosnian civilians in Srebrenica in 1995. Genocide. Now it’s calm and silent in Bucha. Locals do their regular things - take their kids for a walk, exchange opinions in a cafeteria, go to a bank to withdraw cash. But this is a silence of remembrance. Remembrance of those horrible atrocities that happened here. Of the war crimes that need to be punished. Of the tragedy that seems to be a challenge which we need to learn how to live with.
