Russia's invasion of #Ukraine has caused a large amount of warming gases to be released into the atmosphere, Ukraine has claimed at the UN #COP27 climate summit in Egypt.
The amount is the equivalent of adding nearly 16 million cars to the UK's roads for two years.
Ukraine said it is collecting evidence of environmental crimes with which to sue Russia.
It also claimed precious animal and plant life has been destroyed.
