- Ukraine is filing charges against Russia for war crimes - against the environment. Much of Ukraine’s countryside and wildlife has been decimated in the war and the Ukrainians say some of this has been deliberate. It’s a new departure in the use of international law.

#Ukraine #ukrainewar #environment
since the Industrial Revolution started in the West, we all needing to think about whether our environment will last for another 200 years and so on.
call me selfish, but all these wars are destroying an already compromised ecolog, think where this will leave our grandkids?
Absolutely true. Sad that this is only highlighted when political opportunism has the most chances to give results (COP) and not because they really think it is a problem.
What about uranium shells and cluster munitions. Is there any record how many million shells Ukraine fired into Ukraine
Most Uranium shells are fired by Russia since day one. Their T-80BV uses depleted Uranium shells as Standard and since 2018, Russian T-72 and T-90 tanks are firing those as well. Ukraine only received DU shells for the Abrams tanks which have not seen combat yet.
Ecoside ? Wtf lol
What about the blowing up the north stream pipeline? Who’s responsible for that ?
The least of their problems, change the government and stop the war.
Ukraine is getting desperate
But greedy as usual
This video, this topic SHOULD hold high importance as this planet we live on is our only planet and we need the flora and Fauna if humanity itself ever hopes to survive.
Right, international laws should be changed to include damage to the environment, as it affects people and animals beyond the affected area.
How about upholding the human rights we already have everywhere on the planet first?
What about the north stream pipeline? Everyone seemed to forget about that
another, not secondary, reason to prevent that from dragging out by being behind Ukraine and Ukrainians to get their full control of their territory back. Only that can prevent further ecocide - on Ukrainian land, with not unlikely impacts far beyond -> ZNPP.
Why is there so far no attempt of the remaining decent part of the world to raise a reparation tax on RuZZian trade?
What is the environmental damage of the blowup of Nord Stream pipelines 😂😂😂😂
Arent you afraid of the ecocide in gaza warcirminals?
Ekraine will have the same cases, provided by UK U$A.

Call me crazy but i wonder if there would be any benefits (long term) from the dam being gone. Maybe im way off on this but i thought it was generally agreed that disrupting the natural flow of a river is not good for the environment.
You are off. This dam was not just for fun, some electricity, and flood prevention. It was also a vital water source for the region, drinking water. Also its a bit like arguing that the original world trade center was bad for the New York skyline. Even if you want it gone, the massive devastation and loss of life is unacceptable.
@@kurtilein3 no dams are for fun, and I still feel like there are alternatives for your points. Electricity, go solar and wind, flood prevention, don't build in a flood plain. Water can still be pumped from a river...
@@skypieper Why do you not care about the victims? Why would you do any of that if you have a perfectly fine dam?
@@kurtilein3 it's not that I don't care about the victims. I wish this never happened and do feel for them. I just question man always changing nature to fit our own needs. Natural flowing rivers are good for the environment and in some cases can bring money to a community. Thats all I'm about.
I see where you're coming from, but the damage caused by the original obstruction of the river was most likely already overcome by nature. Destroying it won't restore the original landscape status bc infrastructure had already been built in the previously (and again now) flooded areas. And most likely Ukraine will want to have that space again in the future, which means rebuilding the dam and flooding the upper plains again.
Russia has right to defend itself like Israel
Dumb.. this is war.. Ukraine walked away from
negotiation..so why are the blaming Russia?
Those negotiations were a joke. Russias main point was the demilitarization of Ukraine which would be equal to an unconditional surrender. Russia started the war and is solely responsible for all damages.
@@rocksmo3384and this was due to Ukraine shelling Donbass on regular basis for 8 years.
"Negotiations". Russia is basically asking for Ukraine surrender unconditionally. Telling them to demilitarize completely and accept all occupied territory as part of Russia. And all that AFTER the discovery of hundreds and hundreds of executed ukrainian civilians. They are still abducting ukrainian children as we speak and change their names to ensure they will never be reunited with their families and force ukrainian POWs to fight their own countrymen. There is simply no foundation for any good faith negotiations as things are now.
@@aeye9772 The Donbass has been occupied by Russian troops since 2014 and those troops were shelled.
@@rocksmo3384 oh, really? Locals disagree with that. First, they haven't seen Russian military, second, churches, market squares, schools are not military targets.
it is so like the modern society where Ukraine going is having further problems about the ecology than Slav's traditional living

War is probably one of the worst ecocides - another reason to stop this war asap
Dolphin was killed by the explosion of Ukrainian unmanned boat attacking Russian fleet!!!!
Seems so, why else would they move it and not just let it sit and feed the “ecosystem” they care about
If Russians cared about their ecosystem they'd let little Gollum Putin and his Oligarch minions feed it. A well fed sturgeon- or even a teaspoon of daphnia or strand of kelp is worth more to humanity than that lot.

Well, and a German political leader openly talks about going nuclear, that too from the Green Party! Please make a report on that too.
No one is spared.
When you realise that you are losing you start to blame for Environmental damage 😂
They're so desperate for any kind of reparations at this point.
The damage that has been done to flora and fauna is sickening along with the damages done to Ukraine and those defending her. Ecoside IS a war crime when done deliberately and ruzzia is guilty.
Your comment is vile.
@@Ellelilly8666 America cost more environmental damages across the world especially rainforest in Asia. For Zelensky to cry about a grass in the desert got burn is hilarious 😂
Good morning! After 2 years, mass shootings on both sides, someone remembered the environment. Still to remember is the emission of greenhouse gases during the production of all the weapons used!
Should've thought about that before trying to enter nato
If you have hundreds of thousands of people displaced, dead, lost and counting, the last thing you need to worry about is some dolphins.
everybody is important, plants, animals, people...
Dolphins and all other finned, feathered, furry and 4- legged have just as much right to live as human beings.
@@maolinshaolin7601 If you had to choose between saving your brother or saving a dolphin, I'd like to which one you'd choose.
😂😂😂 Ukraine is crying for everything but US & EU can't listen no more.
No more tears (c) Ozzy
Yes, because that's a real crime. Not anything made up at all.

@@shareika So do read that article.
@@shareikawho gives af about Ukrainian dolphins
Recognizing russian trolls is easier right now, apparently they have been told to talk about dolphins this time.
Hello, Cletus
@@Memovox hello russian troll
It takes 2 🖐️ to clap.
2elensky is largely to blame for walking away from peace deals twice last year.
So if your house was broken into by sombody you would not fight back and give them ur home? Right. You make no sense.
@@siemenlahaye653 so u pick a fight with a more powerful neighbor, is loosing & expect sympathy?
That makes no sense.
@@siemenlahaye653If Isreal is allowed to take Palestinian land, why not Russia?
DONT FEED THE VILE TROLL!!!!
@@vals.1908 so they're largely responsible for the ecocide.
Well duh
💙💛🇺🇦🙏
Russia has always wanted to resolve the issue peacefully. The result of the beginning also lies on the conscience of Ukraine, because they warned that it was not worth joining NATO. These are the consequences of their policy, when they began to infringe on the rights of the peaceful Russian-speaking population. Now Russia will not retreat and will achieve victory. But already on Russia’s terms. Western countries do not even have the moral right to condemn Russia’s actions, since it is aimed at defense and Russia does not need bases near its borders. The majority of the intelligent population of the world understands this and therefore they are for Russia. Look also at how the Russian army operates without affecting the civilian population. Ukraine has killed more civilians since 2014.
Ya getting desperate now DW honestly
Pathetic
@@janemoore4395 not to mention the nippos dumping the old glow in the dark in the ocean no matter what you try to retort
They could have used that contaminated land full of Cs 134 loaded flora and derelict buildings that are more a fire hazard with smoke loaded with it to better use
Alas
You will have little support
When they inevitably reject it when it goes to an international court as the blow back on them will be made clear
In fact you just helped us make a case for it
I'm sure the strategic planning in the pasific will be happy to know China and Fiji, Solomon Islands and various others can pursue this now
@@janemoore4395they are concerned about Ukrainian dolphins .. that’s how desperate Ukraine is for another 60£ billion aid package lol
@@janemoore4395 grow up, the value of your life is more important that of marine animals. Stop trying to be that person where there are bombardments of peoples lives and home less important than dolphins. It’s not even about dolphins I just made a joke just to show that Ukraine is desperate for more money.
Give Ukraine another 60 billion because their dolphins are dying lol
Bots and trolls in full force. Payday at the kremlin?
