At least the wild fires around Chernobyl are not a problem any more, but the fire danger in the forests is still high.
Here are some maps of Germany, for example.

The deeper layer (first map) is still depleted from 2018. February was very wet, but that has been overcompensated for by the no-rain April.
We haven't reached the 2018 level of dryness yet I think, but there has to be a lot of rain, soon. Yes, nobody will starve, and be it because we can buy from the world market, but if this keeps happening we will have to find better ways to deal with it. No export also means that there is potentially too little food somewhere else.
But I agree, we do have some leeway with the animal protein production.
