Abstract
The large-scale Russian military aggression has led to a number of serious and dangerous consequences for the environment and the population of Ukraine. Our research focuses on the impact of military actions on the natural ecosystems of Ukrainian Polissia. The most common consequences of this impact in 2022-2023 were fires. Almost 70% of forest fires in this region were caused by active combat, missile strikes, mine explosions, artillery shells, etc. While the majority of fires in Ukrainian Polissia during these years were triggered by war, their spread was influenced by many other factors.
