“In the Zaporozhye, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv and Kherson regions, servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, together with militants of nationalist battalions, purposefully set fire to fields with grain crops using helicopters and artillery,” Mizintsev said.
Earlier, the deputy head of the military-civilian administration of the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, said that Ukraine, using a helicopter, began to set fire to wheat fields on the border with the region.
It also became known that Ukrainian nationalists deliberately set a fire in the port of Mariupol and destroyed more than 50 thousand tons of grain.
