Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has been suffering from large-scale forest fires, which mainly occur in the eastern and southern regions. Experts say that in 2020, more than 100,000 hectares of forest have already been destroyed in Ukraine, while tens of thousands of hectares were burned during the 2000s. The Ukraine Crisis Media Center is initiating an expert discussion to find out:

  • What are the consequences of the fire for the ecosystem and the people of Ukraine?
  • What operational and precautionary measures necessary to counteract wildfires?

It should also be noted that the Parliament adopted as a basis the bill №3526 on strengthening forest protection, fire prevention on forest and water resources, peatlands, and other categories of land.
