The war in Ukraine not only leads to devastating human losses but also causes destructive consequences for the environment. Military actions and heavy machinery inflict significant damage on fertile soils, which recover extremely slowly. Pollution by heavy metals, oil products, and chemicals threatens not only Ukrainian lands but also the future of agriculture. Researchers are already working on effective solutions, including phytoremediation, which involves cleaning the soil using plants.

The article analyzes the role of niche Ukrainian media specializing in environmental issues in the context of information overload and the dominance of news about the war. The author examines how these media outlets, such as “Ecopolitics,” GreenPostMedia, and “Ecodia,” highlight current environmental problems, such as land and water pollution, the development of green energy, public eco-initiatives for rational consumption, and the impact of the war on the environment.
