Ukraine warns of ecological 'bombs' on its territory

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of ecological "bombs" threatening the world from Crimea and Donbas.

Speaking at the COP26 Climate conference, the Ukrainian president complained of risks the Russian naval base in Crimea poses to the local ecosystem.

He also said a devastating conflict in eastern Ukraine led to shortage of water, soil degradation and the flooding of mines in the rebel-controlled part of Donbas.

Zelenskyy added Ukraine will cut greenhouse emissions by 65% by 2030 and will become carbon neutral by 2060.
