It is worth noting that Kyiv residents are demanding to stop the ecocide in Southern Borshchahivka. Locals are suffering from the activities of enterprises that pollute the air.

Residents are particularly concerned about the company LLC "ABZ-1," which produces asphalt at 49 May 9 Street. Consequently, they have created an electronic petition on the Kyiv City Council website.

Additionally, residents of Borshchahivka and surrounding areas report violations of the sanitary zone, rendering asphalt concrete production in this area illegal.

The petition highlights that the emission area covers a vast part of the district, including residential buildings, 5 kindergartens, 3 schools, and both children's and adult clinics.

In light of the identified violations of the sanitary zone and the exceeding of permissible limits for harmful emissions, the public is calling for a re-evaluation of the environmental impact assessment.

Earlier, "Telegraf" reported that the Kyiv Sea has catastrophically shrunk, with the water receding by hundreds of meters. Numerous shoals have appeared in the reservoir, and many islands are visible where there used to be water.
