Details:  Firefighters report that the Russians have started the majority of the fires.

The six flames have now been contained in an area of around 2,300 hectares.

The intricacy of extinguishing the fires is also related to the fact that some areas in the woodlands in the frontline areas have been mined and contaminated with unexploded enemy ammunition."
