“…An analysis of scholarly works on violations of environmental law during armed conflicts reveals a clear link between armed aggression against a state and violations of environmental law. For example, Nixon (2018) examines the consequences of environmental law violations and environmental offenses themselves stemming from the Vietnam War, while Cusato (2018) has chosen the same subject of study, but in another country, Kuwait, after the end of that country's war.…”

“…The latter circumstance is a sign of environmental warfare. Through an examination of the practice of the UNCC, the overarching purpose of this paper is to draw attention to some problematic dimensions of the compensation regime for the environmental impact of the 1990-91 Gulf War, and thus raise questions on its capacity to influence future responses to environmental damage in the context of contemporary armed conflicts (Cusato, 2018). It should also be noted that military conflicts lead to a decrease in population in a particular region, which cannot but affect the environment.…”

The objective of the study was to analyze, in a comparative legal framework, violations of environmental law in the context of armed aggression against Ukraine. The research method was a dialectical combination of the proven general and private scientific methods of legal knowledge. They emphasize in the Research Results that scientific advances can be used to solve the serious problems that arise in the legal regulation of criminal liability for environmental crimes in the context of armed aggression against Ukraine, as well as in general processes aimed at improving the environmental situation as a whole. It is concluded that the problems of criminal liability for environmental crimes in the context of armed aggression against Ukraine are managed, as far as doctrine is concerned, in the need to study the problems that currently exist in this area, in order to develop effective means of combating environmental crimes. In this regard, the optimization of the solution of environmental protection problems as a result of aggression against our State is possible on the basis of inter-State cooperation.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of armed aggression by the rf on the soil resources of Ukraine and to develop a map regarding the impact of military actions on the soil cover at different levels of management: the country, region, district, and territorial community. In this study, we used the following main methods: analysis, synthesis, monographic, abstract-logical, and cartographic. The article introduces a new type of soil degradation: degradation caused by armed aggression (military type), which includes the following types: (1) mechanical degradation; (2) physical degradation; (3) chemical degradation; (4) physical and chemical degradation; (5) biological degradation; and (6) other directions of influence on soils and land plots. For the first time, maps have been developed regarding the impact of military actions on the soil cover at different levels of management: Ukraine, oblast, district, and territorial community. Areas of each type of soil affected by military operations and requiring further examination and control have been determined. It was established that as of March 2023, the largest area affected by hostilities is characteristic of chernozem soils: ordinary chernozems (5.0M ha), southern (2.1M ha), typical and podzolized (1.9 million ha), meadow soils and meadow and chernozem (0.2M ha). Considering the area, chernozems were the most affected; in some areas, the soils were destroyed. The practical value of the obtained results is that their application should contribute to the comprehensive assessment of military soil degradation in Ukraine. Spatial specificities of interstate and interregional migrations in the population of Ukraine are defined for the prewar period, the period of russia’s hybrid war against Ukraine (2014–2021), and the full-scale russian-Ukrainian war (beginning on February 24, 2022). The scope and the directions of migrant departures/arrivals are disclosed, as well as their effect on the dynamics of population number in Ukraine and its regions.
