Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has warned there is a risk of radiation-contaminated water entering the Sea of Azov.
The prime minister told the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry about this during a video call while discussing energy security, as well as cooperation in the field of renewable energy and the green transition, as reported by the government's portal.
In particular, Shmyhal and Kerry touched on energy security. The prime minister noted that dozens of coal mines had already been closed in the temporarily occupied territories in Ukraine without abiding by environmental procedures, which threatens the region's security.
