Humans primarily alter fire regimes in three ways: changing the distribution and density of ignitions, shifting the seasonality of burning, or altering available fuels. Remote sensing techniques are a highly feasible and effective tool for monitoring wildfires, delineating burn perimeters, describing patterns of fire occurrence, characterizing the degree of intensity, or fire risk mapping. In this study MODIS and Sentinel-2 satellite images were used to analyze the burned areas in the Luhansk an
