Kyiv is surrounded with forest fire. The most critical situation is in Chernobyl
exclusion zone. The cause of the fire is arson. Yesterday the fire was stopped in 2 km from the 4th block of Nuclear Reactor. Stopped, but didn't eliminated.
Today we have a wind and dust storm, and another arson from the south. And Kyiv turns out to be in a trap of fumes.
Golosiyvsky forest is in fire, animals are dieying, and firemen still fight the fire. I can't imagine the person who is able to do that.
To give you an insight of the emergency situation. Yesterday AQ index (quality of the air) in my district was 38, good. 2 hours ago it was 72 (the higher is the worse). Just now it is 182! And there are districts where AQ is almost 300! The people who come in from outside say it is like standing by a campfire.
The residents of the capital are strongly recommended to close windows, venting and stay at home.
Hope things will get better tomorrow...

Take care,
That is horribly scary. As if we don't have enough to worry about in the world right now. Hope the situation improves quickly.
It is exactly what was on my mind yesterday - don't we have enough to worry about?...
Since yesterday evening, Kyiv is the city with the worst air condition (pollution) in the world. We had another worst peak today in the morning. Thanks God, at the moment we have avg yellow-orange level.
Thank you for your comment, and repost, and that you care. Stay safe and healthy ! 😘🤗🌞
i seen some news about this. not a great thing when Chernobyl is burning. Also the firefighters that go there to fight it...
Our major Klichko said that there is no radiation in the air. But firefighters need a few more days to totally fight the fire.
Thank you so much for dropping by!
все не так уж и плохо на сегодня
Сегодня индекс 25. По сравнению с 280 очень даже неплохо, я бы сказала ;о)
Все нормально)
Без паники!
Ждём ослабления карантина!
Howdy zirochka! I'm sorry to see this is happening. This post was 4 days ago, have they gotten the fires under control yet?
Are you guys on lockdown because of the virus?
Hello, Janton! How nice to hear from you. I hope you and Mrs. J are safe and sound.
Yes, the situation got better, we can open windows and breathe! There was a small rain and it also helped to fight the fire.
We are on lockdown too. Our present quarantine period ends in 2 days, and tomorrow we'll see what they are going to do, extend it or cut some slack.
Howdy zirochka! So the virus numbers must be leveling off or going down there which is good news!
Yes, exactly. I so much look forward to that. It is so challenging to stay within 4 walls for so long :(((
I can only imagine. We live in the country so we haven't been affected by it. You guys need to buy a little place in the country!
I agree.;) Usually, I used to help.my mom with her home garden in the village, but it is toooo far for me. Too much time and expenses to get there.
And I started to think seriously about getting something of.my own, not so far from my home
Howdy today zirochka! I hope you find a place in the country, you'll love it!
Great
Зараз перевалило за 200 майже по всьому місту, в окремих місцях бфльше 300. смердить уже і в квартирі. правда, піднявся вітер, але не знаю, добре це, чи погано
На це мало надії...
Ну, реальність вказує на це. А ми, дурненькі, все сподіваємось, що #всебудедобре.
