The electrical grid sustained significant damage as a result of the most recent Russian missile attack on the Kiev region. The energy provider Ukrenergo, which is already working to restore the dependability of the energy supply in Kiev and the central region, made this announcement on Telegram. The adoption of emergency shutdown programmes is conceivable.

 Therefore, Ukrenergo requests that customers use electricity responsibly, especially between the hours of 17 and 23, by asking them to avoid using energy-hungry equipment, switch off superfluous lights, and put off laundry until after dark.

The Russian-Ukrainian war had a significant impact on the global economy, geopolitics, and food security, according to a study on how it affected the entire environment that was published in The Science of the Total Environment. The repercussions on the environment have been disregarded because of the severe humanitarian situation. 

However, as a result of the fierce battle, there will be disastrous effects on the ecosystem. Already, the war is having an impact outside of Ukraine (explosions in Russia and Moldova territory).

This discussion paper tries to offer light on how this massive conflict might affect ecosystems and the services they provide. There is proof that the continued, intensive fighting has caused serious air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, military operations were carried out close to Chernobyl and the largest nuclear power station in Europe, Zaporizhzhia, raising concerns about radiation leaks.

 Intense deforestation and habitat destruction, which may have consequences for wildlife, are having a significant negative impact on biodiversity.

Soil degradation and landscape morphology will probably be negatively impacted by bombing, trenching, and tunnel excavation. This acquires special significance given that Ukraine has some of the world's most fertile soils (Chernozem), which have an impact on food production.

Water quality and availability are likely to be impacted by the movement of contaminants to water reserves and the destruction of infrastructure. Given that deforestation will reduce ecosystems' ability to control air pollution or the climate, the ecosystem services that are provided are likely to suffer significant harm.

Food production will be hampered by soil degradation, and the disintegration of social cohesiveness, cultural legacy, and scenic landscapes will have a significant impact on cultural services. Finally, there are already significant effects on human health. 

However, it might possibly be higher because of exposure to high levels of pollution and deteriorating hygienic conditions. Even though the battle is still going on, its effects are still very unclear. On the whole, nevertheless, we might anticipate a substantial impact.'
