The State Border Guard Service noted that this tragic incident confirms the long-term consequences of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine.
Even after the withdrawal of Russian troops, a deadly danger remains, threatening not only wild animals but also people
For reference
Przewalski's horse is an endangered species listed in the Red Book. Its acclimatization in the Chornobyl zone is considered a great success for nature conservationists. These animals have adapted well to semi-wild conditions and have become a symbol of ecological recovery of the territory affected by the Chornobyl accident.
The war does not pass without a trace. The territory of the Chornobyl zone is currently closed for visits. It continues to pose a danger and not only radiation
Addition
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine negatively affects the environment. Shelling of forests, marine ecosystems, and industrial facilities provokes widespread and catastrophic damage that Ukrainians will have to deal with for years.
