 A methodology for assessing the damage caused by hostilities to Ukraine's ecosystems has been developed and tested, with effective measures proposed to minimise the adverse effects of environmental losses. The productivity of 24 types of natural grass biotopes, characteristic of areas affected by hostilities and serving as a food source for pollinating insects and other ecosystem services, has been evaluated based on their relationships with these insects. Additionally, the changes in the taxonomic composition of the alien flora in specific areas of Ukraine—particularly those transformed by hostilities—have been studied. The data on the distribution of two dangerous invasive hogweed species in Ukraine are summarised, and an ecological and cenotic analysis of their communities, including areas affected by war, is carried out. Lists of bird species present before the war have been compiled, alongside proposals to optimise their conditions and restore their diversity in the post-war period. A database of key groups of hymenoptera and lepidoptera insects has also been created, with an assessment of their pre-war population levels, enabling an evaluation of the damage caused by Russian aggression. Records have been made of changes in ant populations in areas affected by the war. In collaboration with European colleagues, a scientific and educational platform called the "Academy of Pollinators" was established in line with the new EU environmental legislation, and an EU action plan was devised to protect and conserve pollinating bees, which are most endangered. This regulatory document is aimed at all EU member states, emphasising its pan-European scope.
