Okay. Now I will talk about what happens in my country.
Everyone remembers Californian and Australian fires?
Well, this is Donbass region in Ukraine now:
Only, it wasn't created by some unfortunately dry weather and people's stupidity and carelessness.
Two days ago, Russian Federation forces and their allies, who has been occupying parts of Ukrainian territory, fired tracer ammunition on regions under Ukrainian jurisdiction throughout all the front line. They waited for the right wind and set fire.
This is hundreds of kilometers.
Since then, Donbass is on fire.
Countless villages and small towns has been destroyed. 15 people are already dead. Many received severe burns. Hundreds lost their homes and their livelyhood to the fires.
That's not talking about animals.
Cows and goats has been left to burn alive on the farms. People would have tried to help them, but since the fires were created unnaturally and got VERY big VERY quick, thousands of people, hundreds of villages had to simply leave EVERYTHING and just RUN away. Can't get a cow on a bus🤷🏻
People said they were woken up in the middle of the night by police banging on their doors and telling them to abandon everything and get on the road. Many left simply in their pajamas leaving even their documents behind. One boy talked about how they rode on the road that was already surrounded by fire on the outskirts. He said he was glad the fire only touched the tires and didn't get to the windows.
Roads are litered with dead cats and dogs.
Foxes and hedgehogs, who have only lived in wilderness, are now coming into human houses to hide from fires. People try to save as many as they can, choking on smoke and risking their lives.
There's around 300 km between the fires and the next big cities - Kharkiv and Dnipro. Nevertheless, the fires in Lugansk region are so big, people in Kharkiv report huge smog all around the city and being unable to leave their homes because it's hard to breathe.
The situation is also dire because the region where fires are has a lot of pine forests and the summer was very dry. Also the wind is high now.
I don't know who to ask and for what help, since our 🤡 president refused to acknowledge the military nature of the fires and has kept silent since then, despite everyone - the army, political opposition, local administrations, OSCE, witnesses - saying tracer bombs are what caused the fires.
And even without this evidence, the are over a HUNDRED different origin places of the fires, all of them unconnected to each other, and spread throughout the whole front line of hundred km. This is just not possible when fires originate naturally.
So, please, just spread word to #helpLugansk #helpUkraine
