Kyiv and the region suffered large-scale environmental losses in June 2025 due to massive air attacks by the aggressor state of russia. In particular, 1,902 tons of harmful substances were released into the air only on June 6 and 10.

This was reported by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine.
