Ukraine, Romania to exchange information on ecological condition of Black Sea

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine posted this on Telegram.

During a phone conversation with Minister for Environment, Waters, and Forests of Romania Mircea Fechet, Minister of Environment Protection and Natural Resources Ruslan Strilets emphasized that all countries that have access to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov will feel the impact of Russia's terrorist act at the Kakhovka HPP. But first and foremost, Ukraine's neighbors – the countries of the Black Sea region – will feel it.

Strilets and Fechet agreed on the permanent exchange of information on the ecological condition of the Black Sea. This will help Ukraine to record its pollution as a result of the terrorist attack. Fechet assured Strilets that all monitoring data of the Black Sea condition will be constantly sent to Ukraine.

According to Fechet, Romania currently does not record pollution of the Black Sea waters near its shores. However, in the future, they will conduct appropriate monitoring activities.

Strilets thanked Fechet for his solidarity with Ukraine and invited him to participate in the formation and implementation of a further plan for the restoration of our nature conservation areas.

As reported, the Russian army blew up the Kakhovka HPP dam on June 6. Law enforcement officers opened an investigation under the article "ecocide".
