Estimated damages from the Russian attack on the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant so far amount to 140 million hryvnias, but the calculation is ongoing as environmental damage is being assessed.

As of today, the estimated losses from the Russian attack on the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant amount to UAH 140 million, but the calculation continues. This was announced by the Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine Ruslan Strelets during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN.

If we talk about the losses caused by the racketeering in the DniproHES, they are estimated at UAH 140 million, but the calculation is still ongoing, because environmental damage is not only about the waste of destruction. Or water pollution. This includes explosions, burning, and the impact on all elements of the ecosystem. That's why we have a figure of UAH 140 million as of today. This is another case in our general track on calculating environmental damage.

- Strelets said.

According to him, the counting is ongoing, and this figure may change, unfortunately, upwards.
