Impact of Russian Military Aggression on the Natural Tourist Resources of Ukraine

Abstract

The paper highlights and analyses the irreparable damage to the country’s ecological system and natural tourist resources due to russian military aggression in Ukraine, considering the problems of restoring these resources and the safety of involvement in recreational activities in the future. Emphasis is placed on the need to maximize the damage to the country's environment as a result of russia’s military aggression in Ukraine to determine further compensation by the aggressor for this damage. It is determined that the plan to restore Ukraine after the victory in the russian-Ukrainian war should include measures to restore and preserve ecosystems, and plans to rebuild settlements should include nature-oriented solutions and measures to build the country’s recreational system. Priorities for ensuring environmental security in the war zone in eastern Ukraine as components of environmental protection in the context of reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions have been identified. The emphasis is on the need to build a national culture of security and resilience in crises, using the experience and approaches of the United States as an example.
