The article is devoted to the study of the problems of legal regulation of conservation of degraded and technogenically polluted lands of Ukraine, which were damaged as a result of Russian hostilities.
The article states that the military aggression of the Russian Federation has transformed the territory of Ukraine since 2014 into a military-technologically tense region of Europe. These events caused catastrophic consequences for the state of land resources and soils of the state. It was found that the constant use of military means of destruction is a powerful polluter of the soil cover and poses a direct threat to the population.
It has been proven that one of the important factors that will contribute to the restoration of the condition of lands and soils in Ukraine after the end of hostilities is the use of land conservation, which is a powerful measure of land and soil protection, will contribute to the restoration of soil fertility and their further use.
It is noted that to date there are certain deficiencies in the legislation of Ukraine in the field of conservation of technogenically polluted and degraded lands that have been violated as a result of the military aggression of the Russian Federation.
The article establishes the expediency of supplementing the provisions of the Land Code of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine “On Land Protection” with the concept of technogenically polluted and degraded lands damaged as a result of military operations. It is noted that it seems appropriate to introduce a special legal regime for man-made and degraded lands subject to conservation as a result of hostilities and emergency situations.
Conclusions were made about the necessity of conservation of technologically polluted and degraded lands that were damaged as a result of hostilities. The expediency of adding provisions to the land legislation of Ukraine regarding the protection and rational use of this type of land has been proven.
