It's hot summer in Europe without much rain and these fires is outcome of such weather conditions. In Siberia there is also big heathwave. In 2019 there was huge wildfires in Siberia too which made so much damage. It's really sad to see such things.
I didn't even know that Siberia was burning. There are currently too many active wildfires, it's really saddening. Here in Greece, we had multiple fires in Evia, Athens and Peloponnese, which had disastrous consequences. I just can't get why Siberia has gone unnoticed and why it hasn't had any news coverage.
I think in Russian media there wasn't much information about these wildfires, they didn't wanted to show it, so, in Western media it went unoticed too until now. And usually, global news media usually are paying more attention to things which are going on in Western World.
