Approximately 400 hectars of the forest were set on fire.
''Situation is under control, but this is the biggest fire since 1992. We haven't had such a big fire in a while,'' stated Ukraine's PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk to journalists at the Zhulyani airport following his visit to the site of the incident.
Meanwhile, Nikolay Chechetkin - deputy chair of the emergency situations unit in Ukraine, stated that the cause, could be either arson or reckless usage of fire in the dangerous zone.
