A survey of events in the field of nuclear and radiation safety relating to Russia and Ukraine
Yury Sergeev, a longtime employee of Bellona working from our Vilnius office, has been found guilty by Russian authorities for violating the country’s sweeping “undesirable organizations” law—despite having lived outside Russia since 2022.
Bellona has joined an open letter with the Seas at Risk association, calling for an immediate halt to the discharge of toxic scrubber waste into marine waters.
In this news digest, we monitor events that impact the environment in the Russian Arctic. Our focus lies in identifying the factors that contribute to pollution and climate change.
