A coalition of Ukrainians is documenting environmental crimes

The World

Its primary goal, according to the Ministry of the Environment, is to eventually win compensation for these damages. The government isn’t alone in this effort— a handful of nonprofits are also helping, with volunteers combing news reports to help build databases of every potential environmental impact caused by a Russian attack.
