Now Ukraine is not much like an oasis that puts global warming back a few years. However, Ukraine is not ready to abandon the chosen path of ecological development of the country because of the Kremlin war. Minister of environment and natural resources protection of Ukraine Ruslan Strelets said that the country still adheres to the European "green" course.
In the short future, Kyiv faces the raw material goal of the Green deal. Over the next seven years, the country will be part of the European minerals strategy. All this time Ukraine should increase demand and look for new deposits of natural resources. Sufficient natural raw materials will make the consumption of artificial and toxic resources irrelevant in the country.
At the same time, the minister said that 2.000. Ukrainian mineral deposits fell under the Russian occupation. This means that the Kremlin stole about €12 trillion. Also, the Russian Federation caused damage to the Ukrainian environment worth €48 billion. But Ukraine does not give up, hopes for commodity security and Europe's support.
"Living by the standards of the European family is part of the future victory of our country," said Ruslan Strelets.
Ukraine and the European Union are now working on the final phase of the draft updated road map.
