Documentary abstract — original language

As the preserved territories of Ukraine are highly vulnerable and unique, pollution of these areas due to military aggression can have extremely negative consequences not only for Ukraine but also for the entire world, particularly for the international economy. The aim of the article is to explore the phenomenon of the genocide of preserved territories associated with military aggression as a distinct form of genocide and the connection between the negative impact on the environment and adverse fluctuations in the national market. The study employs methods of comprehensive literature analysis and expert assessments, involving a comparison of legal and Ukrainian scientific approaches. The legislative approach to defining “genocide of preserved territories” is analysed, and a monitoring of statistical data on the level of negative impact on the territories and objects of Ukraine’s natural reserve fund is conducted. The method of scientific generalization and graphical representation is used to visualize the results of the research. For evaluating the secondary results of shelling on regions with a high level of protection, specifically preserved territories and objects, a quantitative literature review, including meta-analysis, is conducted. Calculations reflecting the extent of destruction from bombing are performed, allowing observation of the most damaged areas and assessing the needs for their restoration. Immediate consequences (first level) and hidden long-term economic consequences on the market oriented towards ecology after the war are identified. The concept of the genocide of preserved territories is introduced, which not only helps highlight the negative consequences and the extent of damage to these unique territories and objects but can also be used as a tool for legally highlighting the impact on the entire country from the level of damage to preserved territories and objects. This concept can contribute to determining the violated rights of preserved territories and encourage increased investment in this sector. Additionally, the research can assist in assessing the connection between the level of environmental destruction and the suitability of these regions for environmentally focused business projects
