The Environmental Compact for Ukraine, developed by the High-Level Working Group on the Environmental Consequences of the War, is an unprecedented document that will make Ukraine an example to the world in environmental protection. This was stated by Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak, at a briefing following the meeting of the High-Level Working Group on the Environmental Consequences of the War in Kyiv.


The document focuses on three priorities. The first is to assess the environmental damage caused by Russia on the territory of Ukraine. The second priority is to punish for committing these crimes. The third priority is the environmental recovery and the elimination of damage done. According to the head of the Office of the President, it is not just about recovery, but about improving people's living space through modern technologies and environment-friendly solutions. According to the head of the President's Office, soon this compact will be passed on to all world leaders for consideration and will be a topic of discussion at international forums and conferences. It will also lay the groundwork for specific political decisions at the conference that will take place after the inaugural Global Peace Summit at the leaders' level, including the working group that operates under point 8 of the Peace Formula "Ecological Safety."
