Considered environmental problems Donbas region: flooded mines, hand subsidence, radiation, pollution of water resources, shortage of drinking water, etc. Ecocide is taking place as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014-2024.
The problem of the impact of agriculture on the quality of natural waters of the Donbas region was considered. The presence of pesticides derived from chlorine, organophosphorus, fluorine-containing compounds and pyrethroids was established in all studied environmental objects: drinking and mineral waters, surface waters of lakes Ripne and Slipne, medicinal muds of the resort of the city of Slavyansk. An analysis was conducted and the average values of groundwater quality indicators, sampled in 2023-2024 in the Donetsk region, were determined. Exceedance of the normative values of some indicators according to DSanPIN 2.2.4-171-10 was established. Solving the environmental problems of Donbas requires the liberation of the territories of Ukraine from occupation.
