The fire occurred after a Russian bombing several kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine.

Yevhen Maloletka posted a photo of a burning field on his Instagram to show the whole world what is happening on the front line on the border with Russia.

A Ukrainian journalist says that the “Orcs of Mordor”, as the locals call Putin’s soldiers, are bombing grain fields and preventing firefighters and farmers from extinguishing the fire.
