In Uzhgorod district, arson and illegal forest felling happened at the same time. Employees of the state forest protection service received the report of a fire near the village of Hlyboke in the evening, at 20:00.
Immediately, masters of forest went at the scene. Arriving at the scene, foresters saw burning trees. The fire area covered about 1 hectare. Thanks to the rapid response and in co-operation with local residents, they managed to eliminate the arson.
At the same time, while the employees of the State Enterprise "Uzhgorod forestry" were extinguishing the fire, they received information that in another forest section near the Horyany neighborhood, a sound of a chainsaw was heard. Several masters of forest immediately headed there to detain the perpetrators. However, they didn’t caught the violators, most likely they had fled when they heard the approaching car of the foresters. At the site of unauthorized felling, the cut down oak tree was found.
Vasyl Kyi, the Director of the State Enterprise "Uzhgorod forestry", said: "Forest protection workers came to the conclusion that this was a deliberate arson. Three sources of fire were detected at a considerable distance from each other. They found remains of paper, which the arsonist probably used to set fire to dry leaves. In the remnants of the paper, there is a readable text. These are documents of one of the village councils of Uzhgorod district. Therefore, the events that took place in the forest area of the Uzhgorod forestry, should be regarded as a provocation, which, thankfully, failed. Fire in one part of the forestry, theft of wood at the same time in another part. Of course, after analyzing all the circumstances, it is easy to identify the persons interested in these provocations. But let law enforcement agencies deal with it."
This is the second attempt to provoke foresters. Then a group of violators carried out an illegal felling of forest also in the village of Hlyboke:
