Abstract
The most powerful destructive factor affecting the settlements, infrastructure and natural environment of Ukraine is the full-scale invasion of the armed forces of the RF, which began on February 24, 2022. From the first months of this tragic period in the history of Ukraine, we focused our attention on registration and assessment of the impact of military activity on the natural environment, which in some cases had catastrophic consequences. The purpose of this study is to determine the specifics of the impact of military operations on the land surface, vegetation and water bodies of the affected territories based on the field research, remote monitoring and analysis of available published data.
