Natural environment is a quiet but grave victim of every war. The purpose of this article is to present the way selected governmental departments communicate environmental issues to their citizens during the war in Ukraine. For this purpose, qualitative research has been carried out. The analysed material consisted of messages posted on the websites of the ministries in the period from February 24 to April 1, 2022: Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova. The comparative analysis has shown that, while the Ukrainian ministry consistently posted information about the damage suffered by the environment, and not only in Ukraine, but also throughout Europe, the ministries of the countries neighbouring with Ukraine – with the exception of the Slovak ministry – did not provide information about the consequences of war for the environment.

乌克兰战争背景下的环境

自然环境是每场战争的安静但严重的受害者。本文的目的是介绍选定的政府部门在乌克兰战争期间向其公民传达环境问题的方式。为此，进行了定性研究。分析的材料包括 2022 年 2 月 24 日至 4 月 1 日期间在以下部委网站上发布的消息：乌克兰、波兰、斯洛伐克、匈牙利、罗马尼亚和摩尔多瓦。比较分析表明，虽然乌克兰部不断发布有关环境遭受破坏的信息，不仅在乌克兰，而且在整个欧洲，乌克兰邻国的部委——斯洛伐克部除外——没有提供有关战争对环境造成的后果的信息。
