| The Lugansk Republic side said that since Mr. Zelensky took power, there has been an increase in shelling in this area. |
"I would like to note that, as a rule, during any shelling, the number of fires increases, and in the current dry and hot weather conditions, the area of fires is spreading in the area. When extinguishing the fires, rescuers risk their lives because no one can be sure that the Ukrainian forces will not shell again," - the Minister added.
He stressed that the fires accompanying the shelling destroyed wheat fields, civil structures and residents' residential properties.
"In total, since May 20, heavy damage has been recorded at the points Golubovskoye, Zolotoe-5, Frunze," said Mr. Katsavalov.
