Over the past 10 years, the scale of limestone mining on the peninsula has grown significantly. This large Russian business cannot be controlled by Ukrainian authorities. The actions of the invaders pose a danger to the future of Crimea as a resort region. “Crimea Realities” writes about this with reference to the de-occupation movement Liberate Crimea.
It is noted that residents of the Belogorsk district said that trucks full of rubble move in caravans through the quarry, without tarpaulin coverings, without observing the speed limit. All complaints from locals receive replies.
Activists are sounding the alarm because in such resort regions there are scientifically based restrictions on the scale of mineral extraction, so that their withdrawal does not lead to damage to the resort being greater than the economic benefit from mining.
There is a strong feeling that the Russian authorities in Crimea really consider themselves temporary rulers, Liberate Crimea emphasizes.
Let us remind you that the Russian invaders in the Kherson region are not only shelling and destroying civilian housing and infrastructure, but also the ecology of the region. Thus, the Russians use chemicals to destroy black soil and maximize the affected area.
