Outside the EU, the fires caused the most damage in Ukraine, which accounted for 39% of all recorded fires

Ukrainians face fines ranging from 3,060 to 6,120 hryvnias for burning dry vegetation

In cases with large-scale consequences, the arsonist may become a defendant in a criminal case

Among the criminals are MPs, officials, entrepreneurs and simply those who are "not indifferent" to making money from destroying nature

Due to power outages at environmental monitoring stations, Kyiv residents are advised to use the smell of smoke as a guide

Damage to the environment caused by air pollution alone amounted to approximately UAH 5 billion

These include large-scale fires, pollution of the Black Sea, and the shockingly brazen destruction of forests
