According to preliminary estimates, the unprecedented environmental damage from the fire at the oil depot in the village of Kryachky, Vasylkiv community, Kyiv region, amounts to eight hundred and ten billion hryvnias.
Specialists from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources and the State Ecological Inspectorate are currently working on accurate calculations.
