Wildfires in eastern Ukraine, fueled by war, dry conditions, and climate change, burned over a million hectares in 2024 and worsened in 2025.
Wildfires have ravaged eastern Ukraine, burning over a million hectares in 2024—more than double the EU’s total—and intensifying in 2025, especially in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.
Satellite and on-the-ground data show fires are concentrated near active battlefronts, often ignited by explosions from unexploded ordnance and mines, with rapid spread due to dry conditions, abandoned farmland, and war damage.
Firefighters face extreme danger, including drone attacks and "double-tap" strikes, as they battle blazes while under fire.
Experts link the surge to the war, climate change, and land degradation, warning of severe long-term environmental consequences.
