Since 31 July to 6 August, inspectors across the country conducted almost four hundred inspections, uncovering many blatant violations. The total amount of damages identified by ecologists for violators for this week exceeded 8,4 million hryvnias, and the total amount of claims and lawsuits filed reached almost 16,4 million.
The week’s main environmental scandals touched several regions of Ukraine at once — from the smoke-filled Zakarpattia to large-scale logging in the west.
Zakarpattia: smoke over a landfill of seven million
The biggest impact on the air was recorded in Zakarpattia. There was a large fire at the solid municipal waste landfill used by the company “Bereh Vertical.” The dump ignited, releasing a huge amount of uncontained pollutants into the atmosphere.
The local environmental inspection promptly calculated the damages from the toxic smoke and dirt, issuing the enterprise a claim in an astronomical amount — 7 232 364 hryvnias.
Ivano-Frankivsk region: more than five hundred destroyed trees near Palahychiv
No less alarming news came from Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. Inspectors of the Carpathian district detected massive illegal logging outside the village of Palahychy, in the TLuchmyn region.
