The Law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine in order to preserve the environment with regard to strengthening responsibility for actions aimed at air pollution, destruction or damage to flora objects” was adopted. The law provides for improving the procedure for bringing to responsibility for air pollution, destruction or damage to flora, violation of the fire safety requirement in forests and unauthorized burning of dry vegetation or its remains in order to reduce the destructive consequences and protect the right of citizens to safe air and the environment, and also to reduce the number of fires that occur for this reason.<\/span><\/p>\n
