Deforestation in forest park facilities located within the Ukrainian capital is now 16 percent, and for this reason, and because of other factors, Kiev is very close to the three megacities that are considered unfit for life.

As the replyua.net reports with reference to the Observer, this was stated by Vladimir Boreyko, the director of the Kyiv Ecological and Cultural Center. He commented on the findings of the Economist publication, according to which the Ukrainian capital was included in the top ten worst cities for life. “I agree with these conclusions. Over the past 5 years, Kiev is constantly in the top ten worst cities in Europe in terms of pollution. Under the wise leadership of the well-deserved boxer Klitschko, Kiev stops in an unfit for life city, “Boreiko said.

According to the ecologist, the forest is being cut down, the climate is changing, and the people of Kiev are forced to stay in the city with very polluted air all the time – there is a lot of transport, the temperature rises, green areas are cut down and new buildings appear instead. “Kiev is turning into a city in which it will be impossible to live, it constantly moves to the top three leaders of this rating,” the environmentalist added.
