We are talking about a five-kilometer border zone near the border with russia, access to which foresters have long had because of the security situation.

The fire was recorded by surveillance cameras of the enterprise.

“All the forces of forest protection have been abandoned to prevent the spread of fire in the territories to which we have access.

First of all, we create additional mineralized strips. The tractors of the enterprise work under the guise of electronic warfare, because the enemy hits any technique.

Yesterday they held a joint meeting with representatives of the military, the State Emergency Service and local authorities. It is important to prevent the spread of fire to settlements in the front line.

Mobilized all new fire equipment of the enterprise. But so far we do not have the opportunity to fully use it, because enemy UAVs are constantly in the air,” the report says.

According to the Northern Forest Office, a fire occurred on May 5 in the forests of the Koryukovsky super-forestry, in particular in the Yelinsky and Tikhonovichi forestry. These areas can be contaminated with explosive objects.

“Due to the extremely difficult security situation, full elimination of the fire is currently impossible. Over the territory, enemy drones are constantly fixed, which poses a direct threat to the employees of the SE “Forests of Ukraine” and the rescuers of the State Emergency Service,” the statement said.
