"Countering ecocide" key point in Zelensky's peace formula for Ukraine

At the G20 summit in Indonesia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine set out in a speech to world leaders a 10-point Peace Formula aimed at restoring just and long-lasting peace for Ukraine.  Covering nuclear safety, food and energy security, ceasing of hostilities and the upholding of the UN Charter, the formula also specifically includes a call for immediate protection of the environment.  In Zelenskyy’s words:

The eighth challenge is ecocide, the need for immediate protection of environment. [....]

It is impossible to accurately calculate the amount of atmospheric pollution from burnt oil depots and other fires... As well as from blown up sewage facilities, burned chemical plants, innumerable burial sites of slayed animals.

“Just imagine this – due to the Russian aggression, 6 million domestic animals died. 6 million! These are official numbers. At least 50,000 dolphins were killed in the Black Sea. Thousands of hectares of soil are contaminated with harmful substances - most of them are fertile soils. Were fertile soils.

[...]

“We must also find common responses to all environmental threats created by the war. Without this, there will be no return to a normal, stable life, and the reverberations of the war will remain for a long time - in the explosions of mines that will take the lives of children and adults, in the pollution of water, soil and atmosphere.

[...]
“This is not just a Ukrainian problem. This is a challenge for the whole world.”
