‘Everything is dead’ - reports come in of a major ecocide event, after rivers are poisoned. Ukrainian officials in Chernihiv have told residents not to swim in the Desna River after a toxic spill last month. This video is based on the excellent reporting of Luke Harding and Artem Mazhulin in Slabyn, Ukraine, from the UK’s Guardian newspaper.
It won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s paying attention, that Russia is suspected of deliberately leaking chemical waste into rivers. This has had deadly consequences already for wildlife within the waters and surrounding ecosystems.
Hundreds of fish, including roach, pike, carp and other species, have washed up on the Desna River’s willow-fringed banks.
“Everything is dead, starting from the tiniest minnow to the biggest catfish,” explains Serhiy Kraskov, mayor of the village of Slabyn, located in Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv region.

Heroyam slava! 🇺🇦
The more I learn about these Russian fellows, the less inclined I am to like them
Just try to listen to different medias. Btw if you don't like the Russians just think about what the USA did to environments all over the globe. I just want to mention agent orange or uranium amunition in former Jugoslavia etc.
Like maga they believe any lie their twisted leader tells them. They are pathetic.
Soo sickening, soo despicable.
russki mir is vile. 🇺🇦💙🌞
Where are the environmental groups? They were silent after the Kakhova dam was destroyed and they are silent now. Why? Where is the UN? Why is the RF still allowed to be on the security council? Why is Guterres silent? He seems to pick and choose which military actions he criticizes which is hypocritical. And now he intends to attend a BRICS summit. Seriously? It is time for him to step aside. The environmental damage is horrendous and may take many decades, if not centuries to recover. The RF is truly totally evil.
👏👏👏👏👏❤
✌🇺🇦
Poisoning a water supply is actually a war crime.
Environmental groups exist to destroy western economies nothing else.
Maybe they are afraid of Russia like so many others.
I remember the period when Putin's Russia was conducting a hybrid war of disinformation, propaganda, agitation of ethnic hate, espionage, assassination of dissidents but focused on accusing Ukraine of being Nazis so as to besmirch their name (ideologically Putins Russia is almost 100% aligned with National Socialist ideology. ) The Left wing liberal and green left groups were completely and totally sucked in, for instance the Guardian Newspaper, which I read at the time, certainly believed the Ukrainian Government was neo nazi. Russian propaganda is very successful. In the west accusing someone of being nazi is the equal of calling a woman a witch in the 1500s; they immediately pile on thoughtlessly.
This is one reason the invasion of Ukraine was not predicted.
Thanks you! People in the West are so focused on the Mideast, which is distant from them in every sense-geographically, in terms of threat, and in values. Meanwhile, the true genocide, real ecocide, the hijacking of nuclear plants, and intentional ballistic missile strikes on hospitals and cultural heritage sites in Ukraine seem to be overlooked (((
Dude, it's the liberal media!!!
@@jorr1334🙄
Middle East controls the Suez Canal. Being able to bypass the African continent while traveling at sea is huge.
If you are surprised at the ecocidal, genocidal, criminal and homicidal nature of Russian warfare, you,haven’t been paying attention, ever. Probably going back to early Muscovite experience of Mongol invasion and subjugation, and learned from Genghis Khan’s horde warfare, Russia has made use of warfare against its neighbors’ lands a constant feature of its war doctrine. When the orcs invaded Georgia in 2008, they literally bisected the small nation’s territory, temporarily deploying far south of the ostensible zone of conflict in Samachablo (‘south Ossetia’), intensively bombing the city of Gori beyond the south edge of the conflict zone and then marching farther south along the Georgian Military Highway into the mountains to the ski resort of Borjomi, stopping every 500 meters to light forest fires. They burned old-growth fir forests for dozens of miles along their march.
This is the kind of country that Russia is, hating all their neighbors and sabotaging their economies and societies. The Russian aim in Ukraine and everywhere beyond their borders is economic, social, and ecological ruin. This is the country that western leaders want to prop up for fear of what might replace it when Moscow falls. I can’t imagine how a continental power could behave worse than Russia and welcome most alternatives in the near future.
The UN must declare Russia a State Sponsor of Terrorism if they want to have any legitimacy.
Russia must be possessing the very nature of Satan, which is 'To kill, steal and to destroy' but the wrath of Almighty God awaits the devil and all that has the very nature of Satan.
Don't cross border between muscovites and horde as they are the horde itself. When Mongols came to their land to conquer them - they have happily submitted without any fight or opposition, became loyal vassals and basically dissolved in Ulus Juchi mentality and genetically.
@@Paberu85 what is ulus juchi? I haven’t encountered the term
@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 Ulus refers to a tribal society or a primitive form of a state. Jochi (Juchi) was the eldest son of Genghis Khan. Essentially, the Ulus of Jochi was the state established by Jochi on the lands where russia is currently located, which is known in the West under the more common name-the Golden Horde.
@@Paberu85 yes I’m familiar with the latter.
The evil of the mad little monster knows no bounds.
All Russian crimes of history whether ethnic cleansing, genocides, holodomor, mass killings in gulags come with plausible deniability built in and just plenty of propaganda to sell the lie often enough. It's standard operating procedure.
Not only . Many Russians think like their tzar.
Muscowys is not "little".
The little monster likely is not doing micromanagement at that level, those crimes are done by millions of Russians working for the war/state - their attempts to please the tsar
If you mean Zelensky, your spot on.
Jonathan, thank you so much. You were the first channel that I heard mention this (a few episodes ago with Jake Broe) and I appreciate you dedicating this episode in full. I’m American, have a friend in Chernihiv who a few weeks ago was very distraught by this (what now? what new evil? I already hear alerts in background when we talk, drones and missiles, their flat windows were just repaired again, so much Ukrainians go through daily), many tons of dead fish and wildlife were already present upstream. I know how to scour for such news on my own also in Cyrillic and could find almost nothing. I agree with other commenter. Why isn’t this a major news story, why on earth is RF on security council, where are environmental groups. And Kakhovka Dam explosion took out a full wildlife park and so much else.
The depth of evil becomes more horrific.
Ukraine invades the Kursk region where the plant is, blames Russia for ensuing ecological disaster 😂
You guys are so oblivious

Your work, Jonathan, is of the most importance (sorry because of my bad English!)
🙏 World leaders please stop terrorussia now 🙏
It starts with biden... after all he is the leader of the free world
Or at least he was.
Yes.

World leaders as well as some religious leaders have been ignoring war crimes. Looking away is their choice of action. Even condemning such crimes seems too be too much to ask of them.
Excellent video and Guest!!! Thank you Johnathan!!!!
Thanks Jonathon for bringing this story to light!
Pootin needs to be fined into poverty. Absolutely everything he owns needs to be turned over to Ukraine. He needs to go to prison.
Thanks Johnathan! Out of all the Ukrainian Influencers that I follow on X and RUclips not one has mentioned this.
Thank you for your regular excellent reports JF
Russia has also desecrated UNESCO historic sites, ruining permanently these points in occupied Ukraine. This should also be war crimes.
"If I cannot have her, nobody can."
Thank you Jonathan.
If the Russians have intentionally poisoned the river[s], does this not come within the definition of chemical warfare?
Why isn't this story getting out to the world?
Complete silence of these War crime!😢
Absolutely despicable!
Thank you for all you do for Ukraine! Looking foward to the documentary.
Jonathan, I think there should be another video made with your initiative, and that is simply a compilation of all the war crimes the Russians have committed, especially those where they have recorded themselves, so to bring a counter narrative to the one that was aired recently in the Venice film festival.
Thank you for your coverage and insights
🇪🇺🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🇬🇧
This is appalling. What has the wildlife got to do with the war? And the bigger picture is even more criminal.
greenpeace response is as powerfull now as it was to the blowing of the damn.... nothing. greenpeace is dead
green peace is yellow.
I didn't even know they were still around.
As someone who lives in Alaska, dog mushing played an important role in my life. I had my own sled dog team, followed and watched all the races (not only the Yukon Quest and Iditarod). This has me intrigued.
Thank you, Jonathan, for covering this extremely important topic. What ecocide the errorist invaders have done so far is immensely under-reported.
🇺🇦 Перемоги та миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
Having just watched Chernobyl, this hits hard.

IMO, this alone is enough reason for Biden to remove all limits on Ukrainian use of western armament

There is a place where Russia has Imperial power. The Security Council.
very sad news.
Ruzzia is Zatan himself!
If I say what i think it be blocked!😮
Similar to Saddam Hussein in 1991 burning the oil wells in Kuwait.
And as usual the condemnation of Russian Crimes, particularly by the sort of People who love to "stand" for the Environment, is sorely missing.
I’m new too your channel sending greetings from the USA 👋
Hello 👋
Thank you for your Video and analyses!
It is super interesting that you and many others are now discussing this topic. Case in point, Mr. X. Tytelman in France also released a similar video but mainly on how Ukrainian Labs which used to be specialized on "food and grains Quality controls" have been transformed and are currently working on documenting and tracking this monstrosity being committed by we know who.
Forgot to add:
And how these Labs have migrated at warp speed towards the EU standards. With the help of the EU for the equipment and QC requirements.
All in all, I will say that while these are difficult times for Ukraine (nobody would argue otherwise), these same difficult times are what are bringing Ukraine (the State - the multiple Govt instances) in the European sphere faster than putler would have imagined.
Anyway, thank you for our content Sir!
Time for a change.... 🌩 ⚡️ 🌩
Oh dear ,what will the russian soldiers eat
Sorry to correct you, but it is much more important for NGO to protest against TESLA and protect browncoal harvesting than expecting Scholz, EU , NATO, UN and user proofed useful organisationss to deal with such a minor impact operation of a future partner. Irony off.
So, why we as people are not standing up to the governments enough!
Insane how Russia can get away with this
The dog sled looks amazing fun!
Where the hell is the world?????? When it the poison reaches their boards?? What the hell!!!!!!!
People forget animals have been invaluable in wars ❤
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Sad. Someone please STOP this madness! 😢☮️❤️
When are we going to hear International Lawyers laying out a legal basis for relief for Ukraine from these clear violations of International Law?
The International Criminal Court isn't the only court of law that hears cases between nation states. There are legal cases regarding water rights because water doesn't respect borders. It just goes where gravity carries it.
Moreover, the Nuremberg trials are arguably an example of the victors writing the rules ex post facto (writing the law to fit an unprecedented crime after it's over), but now? NOW they are precedents that can be cited for their legal analysis, and the RUSSIANS were judging the cases alongside the Americans, British and French (by the way, the Russian judges almost always voted for convictions).
The unprecedented legal ruling we desperately need to see is one that includes using the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets assessed as damages Russia has clearly intentionally caused. Wars can't be won with words, but they sure as hell could make an aggressor nation think twice before starting the next one.
As always, thank you for your vigilance, and SLAVA UKRAINI 🙏🇺🇦🕯️🕊️❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Attention for China
Disgusting
Karma is real, sometimes it just seems to take way too long to come around.
🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 My comment auto deleted as usual, sigh....
How long is biden going to let this go on, and liberals be OK with it?
Your silence makes you horrific hypocrites
Remember that The Orange Master loves Putin and thinks he and his minions are the greatest rulers of all time. Beware of whom you worship.
Biden is a bitter disappointment. He will not do anything now, before the presidential election. After the election, I sincerely doubt he'll do anything of substance. It will be left for the next president, and we'd better hope it's Harris.
That's a good question. Biden's foreign policy adviors seem to work for Moscow.
Trump is OK with his friend putin poisoning all over world
Putin is a killer klown
Trump sold poison to putin
Russians must be so proud of their president.
Putin=Sauron
Earth loses every war
Not in the long run
There is a Russian factory not far from the border that's going to get a drone or two
Sinister evil
Russias bill is one they're not willing to pay, but... Will. Sadly I don't believe the people in charge will, instead innocent civilians will be forced to pay for the sinners...
Why is the world allowing Putin to do this?
is it supposed to be muted @20:03?

There's a short (14 min) delightfully simple Ukrainian video, 5 years old, here on RUclips of work studying the ecosystem of the Desna River. Title is "Valley of the River Desna - Unexplored Ukraine". (Can't copy paste link, hardware collapse on my ancient kit- trod on a mouse). New film interesting!
Such jealous people
My professors said they have an inferiority complex. The Mongols swept through, made Moscow one of their bases and continued west. They encountered no organized, armed resistance until they reached Kyiv and Poland. The Mongols gave up on Poland and eventually Kyiv as both were judged too expensive to be worth conquering. Also, Russia coudn't feed itself while Kyiv and Poland were exporting food to the rest of Europe. Btw, Kyiv is almost 700 years older than Moscow and Kraków is about 400 years older than Moscow.
😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Reminds me of Russias mini nuclear reactors spread throughout Siberia, and the North....

The Seym river passes through the battle area in Kursk. It's a possibility something meant to prevent this was damaged or destroyed. Hard to tell. Anyway this channel is a great example of the saying bullshit onvthe internet piles up so fast you need wings to keep above it.

Such a weird comment. How anyone can still support russia after all the war crimes, genocide and ecocide they are committing is beyond me
What an odd comment- a sort of trolling through compliments… very original approach!
You are weird. Support Russia?🤪🤪🤪🤪
