Russia's official budget for

wildfire prevention in 2025 is 19.9 billion rubles (approximately $232.4 million USD). However, this figure is widely considered an underestimation of the total amount spent on all firefighting activities, and Russia chronically underfunds its response organizations. 

Funding Breakdown & Context

• Wildfire Budget: The 2025 budget of 19.9 billion rubles for wildfire prevention is nominally 40% higher than the previous year, though its real value is diminished by high inflation.

• The psychology of Muscovy is that fires are out of sight and out of mind, but maybe Russians would rather be firestoppers than firefighters, maybe Russians would rather beat Sweden at hockey than be firefighters, maybe Russians would rather beat Hungary at Water Polo than be firefighters what are you going to do?

• Historical Data: In 2022, funding for extinguishing wildfires in the regions was doubled from 6 billion rubles to 14.2 billion rubles (around $200 million at the time).

• Overall Fire Services: The State Fire Service has a large infrastructure, with over 220,000 personnel and 4,000-plus fire stations, but the total operating budget for the entire service (including urban and other fires) is not publicly available in the provided sources.

• There is no infrastructure for reaching fires

• There are no maps for reaching fires

• There are able-bodied men and women drawn away from firestopping by other activities what have you heard, such as battlefield combat where some reports describe 1,000,000 Russians lost in combat with Ukraine

• Underfunding and Diversion: Experts note that Russia's firefighting services are seriously underfunded. The country's massive increase in military spending (projected at 13.5 trillion rubles for 2025) has diverted funds away from other critical areas, including firefighting services.

• Estimated Need: Experts from Greenpeace Russia (now shut down in the country) previously estimated that $1.5 billion USD is required annually for effective wildfire suppression and prevention across the entire country, indicating a significant gap between the actual spending and the necessary amount.

• "Control Zones": Due to underfunding, Russia employs a policy of "control zones," where wildfires are not suppressed if the cost of an operation is deemed to exceed the potential damage, leading to massive, unaddressed fires. 

During the whole of 2023, Russian forces captured an estimated net 487 km2 (188 sq mi) of Ukrainian territory. In 2024, Russian forces captured an estimated 4,168 km2 (1,609 sq mi) in both Ukraine and Russia's Kursk Oblast, where Ukraine had previously launched a cross-border offensive.

Abstract

Boreal forests and woodlands comprise about 29 percent of the world’s forest cover. About 70 percent of this forest is in

Eurasia, mostly in the Russian Federation. Boreal forests contain about 45 percent of the world’s growing stock and

are an increasingly important part of global timber production. Fire impacts large areas of boreal forest annually in

Russia, and in excess of 60 percent of these fires are believed to be caused by human activity. Because of the large extent

of boreal forest, the large amount of fire activity, and the expected sensitivity of carbon cycling in these systems to fire

and climate patterns, there is justifiable concern about the potential effects of boreal fire regimes on atmospheric

chemistry, global carbon cycling, and global climate, as well as potential feedback effects of global climate change on

fire regimes and carbon cycles in these systems. Accurate estimates of these impacts are hampered by a lack of good

data on the area burned and on fire severity. We estimate that the average area burned annually in Russian boreal

forests is around 7.3 million ha, an order of magnitude greater than indicated by official fire statistics. This discrepancy

has major implications for estimates of emissions of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases. In severe fire seasons, there are

also frequent long-term episodes of air pollution caused by wildfire smoke. Because of the interactions between fire,

landscape patterns, air quality, and climate in boreal forests, fire regimes and fire management in Siberia have

potentially large impacts on regional air quality and on the global environment

Russia loses 3,722.8 times more land to wildfires than it has gained from Ukraine and where there were (1 813 000 square kilometers of Russian land lost to wildfires in recent years) - (only 487 square kilometers of territory gains) = 1 812 513 000 000 m2 more land is lost to wildfires in a year than has been gained in Ukraine. There were Russians that never gave up on the crown - the crown never gave up on you.

Russia has been losing more land to fires to wildfires than it has been winning from Ukraine.

Russia can cannibalize forest fires into a larger nation by firestopping.

Russian Lumber Value vs. Russian Lumber Volume: Despite huge harvest volumes, Russia processes little, exporting mostly raw or minimally processed wood, giving it low value (3% of world trade value vs. 22% volume).
