Forest Fires in Russia

As wildfires spread throughout Russia, Greenpeace has deployed a team of 6 staff and 14 volunteers tracking fires in the field. The team has initially monitored the situation between Moscow and the Rjazan region, south-east of Moscow, one of the hottest and most affected areas. Later the team has helped extinguish the fire in the steppe in the Volgogradsky region.
