According to her The main reasons could be:
- the fire “entered” the exclusion zone of the Zhytomyr region through the Drevlyany reserve,
- the power lines were located in the area, a spark could occur from the shutdown, and this probably would have led to easy ignition of the dry grass,
- Deliberately set fire as the outbreaks of fire that were far apart were registered.
