The Government
has calculated the volume of deforestation in Ukraine and pass on this
information to law enforcement bodies so that perpetrators of mass felling in
Ukrainian forests were punished. This was stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman during the
opening a Government meeting on Wednesday.
"We’ve
calculated, in what a forest district, how many woods were cut down, and we'll
pose the question to law enforcement bodies to calculate the loss to the state.
And if violations are found to initiate criminal proceedings", Volodymyr Groysman said.
The PM said
that the Government has prepared an interactive forests map of the country.
