Abstract
The publication examines a topical issue related to the impact of military actions on the state of one of the fundamental components of the environment – the soil layer both within the aeration zone and the collectors of the first aquifers from the surface. The massive destruction of oil processing and storage facilities in Ukraine caused by Russian aggression, not only on the battle lines but also deep in the rear, creates a significant long-term danger to environmental components and human economic activity. At one of the technogenic disaster sites destroyed by Russian missiles (oil depot in urban settlement Kalynovka, Kyiv region) specialists from the IGS of NAS of Ukraine have begun practical and theoretical work to create a methodological basis for assessing the impact of pollution on the environment and develop measures to minimize such impact.
