Summary/Abstract: Our paper subject is about the war waged by Russia against Ukraine which generated disastrous effects on the environment both in Ukraine and in its neighboring, cross-border countries. We consider that this issue is about losses of human life, as well as massive air, soil and water pollution. In this sense, the European Economic and Social Committee requested the Commission and the EU Council to identify the negative effects on the environment and their implications on human rights. Also, we will have mention in this paper about the current political situations indicating that national and international security are dependent on each other, and peace and security in Europe is a priority of all its citizens.
