dc.abstract.enIn areas of Europe where water is scarce under global climate change, it can be used as a tool of pressure. The article illustrates the multidimensionality of this problem using the example of Russia's conflict with Ukraine with a particular focus on the weaponization of water in the period 2014-2022. Sustainable water management is not a local problem but it refers to the situation of any conflict in the entire post - Soviet area. It presents cases and analyses chronologically the course of action in which water is used as a trigger, weapon, and casualty. We operate at the interface between ecohydrology, the politics and the functioning of the human population. We point out that many of the environmental problems that occurred during the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine are the result of the exploitative policies adopted during the Soviet Union era in relation to water resources. The article's conclusions also discuss post-war scenarios.
