TORONTO (CTV Network) -- A group tracking environmental damage during the war in Ukraine says it has documented more than 150 cases to date of what it considers ecological crimes committed by Russian forces.
Based in the capital Kyiv, the Ukrainian non-governmental organization Ecoaction is recording cases of what it says amount to environmental crimes, where military actions by Russian troops cause serious pollution and harm to the ecosystem and people.
"Of course, what we are seeing now in Ukraine, we see that these illegal acts and actions of Russia, they severely damage the environment and they could definitely be classified as eco-crimes," said Sofia Sadogurska, a climate change expert and member of the Ecoaction team investigating environmental offences committed by Russia.
