This article explores the intricate relationship between the circumvention of economic sanctions imposed by the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) against Russia and the resulting environmental consequences of developing illicit trade networks. Specifically, the focus will be on the extraction of Ukrainian raw materials and the broader environmental impacts arising from these illicit activities. As illegal networks continue to thrive in a landscape of geopolitical tension, understanding their ecological ramifications is crucial for policymakers, environmental advocates, and the global community at large.
