00:00 Hi, nice to meet you.
00:02 Nice to meet you.
00:03 A few days ago.
00:04 And everything that comes to that.
00:10 And you understand better than most people that if you don't have water, if you don't have clean air, if you don't have biodiversity, you won't be able to...
00:20 The world will be in this working group, but we come with our solidarity and...
00:25 We don't sell. Some countries don't have possibility.
00:28 Ecocide and environmental destruction is a form of warfare, as Ukrainians by this point know all too well.
00:37 And so does Russia. And that's why they are deliberately targeting the environment and people's livelihoods and homes, and therefore also destroying lives.
00:50 Because this is after all a matter of people. I hope that this working group can contribute to connecting the dots between these issues, between war, humanitarian disasters and ecocide.
01:03 Because they are very much connected.
01:06 It's important globally to tackle impunity, to have a proper assessment of the environmental damage, to address the fact that this is something that has to be brought to account.
01:21 The station will be controlled by military people from Russia, and not back to the control of Ukraine, because it's our territory.
01:32 It's now occupied. It will be a big concern and a big risk for the whole world.
01:39 And of course, this will be one of the issues for our working group, for the experts, and we will work for the recommendation.
