Russia Should Pay for Its Environmental War Crimes
I was thrilled when the only independently operating publication in Moscow contacted me to ask permission to translate this Wired Ideas op-ed into Russian.
"If anything, an environment’s value increases as war destroys what was once available, sometimes permanently. Damage to Ukraine’s air, water, plants, and animals will likely persist long after its cities are rebuilt. One day, the information Ukrainian scientists are collecting now may provide evidence for Russia’s environmental crimes. Russia should pay for this environmental devastation. If only the legal system could wake up to reality."
