The Russian Federation is burning fields in the Kherson region – about 2,000 hectares of wheat burned in a day on June 29-30

Russian troops are purposefully attacking fields in the Kherson region during the harvest – thousands of hectares of winter wheat and barley are burning. Firefighters cannot put out the fire due to continuous shelling – the fields are burning openly, and the damage is growing every hour.

In the Beryslav region of the Kherson region, as a result of Russian attacks, a farm worker was injured, agricultural machinery was destroyed, storage facilities were damaged, and fires broke out in the fields. Fires after the attacks were also recorded near the villages of Urozhayne, Shlyakhove, Rakivka, Mylove, and Tarasa Shevchenko.

In addition to the Beryslav district, from Kherson, severe fires are burning in the Belozersk, Stanislavsk, and Dar’ivsk communities. Fires have also been recorded on the left bank of the Kherson region occupied by the Russian Federation. The Russian military began to massively use fiber-optic FPV drones after farmers learned how to protect their equipment with electronic warfare.

In particular, in just one day on June 29-30, about 2,000 hectares of wheat were burned. Farmers are asking the authorities to intervene and declare an emergency in the agricultural sector of the region.

Field work is taking place in extremely difficult conditions. If earlier the main danger for farmers was mines in the fields, today farmers are increasingly suffering from attacks by Russian drones. The drones hunt for people and equipment in a 40-kilometer zone from the Dnieper.
