So, in five regions it was decided to impose a ban on hunting in the territories - because of the spread of fires in the forests. Today such statement in the framework of the press conference was made by the Minister of Housing and Communal Services and Regional Development of Ukraine - Gennady Zubko.

According to him, only five regions decided to impose a ban on hunting. All the rest of the regions are waiting for some reason. And then they will compare - where the number of fires in forests has increased and where hunting is still going on, - Zubko noted..

As reported URA-Inform, in our country every day about 400 fires are recorded. Such data were disseminated on August 22 in the State Emergency Service.
