It is planned that the security concerns of the Eastern European countries will increase and therefore their military expenditures will increase. I want to understand whether this increase affects the budget allocated to Romania's environmental policies.
I would like to investigate the impact of the Ukraine-Russia war on the Romanian environmental policy by examining the change in the environmental policy budget of Romania (due to the increase in defense expenditures) of the Ukraine crisis and the occupation of Crimea in 2014.
Damage to wastewater and drinking water may lead to contamination of water resources. Explosions from rockets or fires generate huge volumes of debris and waste. The release of hazardous materials such as asbestos, industrial chemicals, and fuels compound the effects of environmental contamination.
There is some conceptual confusion in our question: there is no "war" but a fascist, criminal Russian aggression on a sovereign, free country. Ukraine is astonishingly and bravely resisting. The impacts on the economy, trade, or environment are global. Countries in Africa rely upon weekly cereals imports from Ukraine; others rely on Ukrainian fertilizers. The energy and commodities prices are skyrocketing due to the fantasy of an oligarch, Putin, that thought that the Ukrainians wouldn't resist his militarist, nazist rhetoric. Shameful!
For official information regarding environmental policies, you can use the site of the Ministry of the Environment: http://www.mmediu.ro/
For analyzing budgetary evolutions and changes, you can look here: https://mfinante.gov.ro/domenii/buget
Unfortunately, you will need to use a translating software, since none of the information is available in English. For what interests you, you need to look out for „Ministerul Mediului, Apelor şi Pădurilor” (Ministry of the Environment).
