Quote: "There is a serious deterioration in air quality in the eastern and north-eastern oblasts of Ukraine due to the atmospheric vortex of dust and smog from the territory of the Russian Federation. While the dust was brought in from the Caspian Sea, the smog is actually from Russia. There are now large-scale forest fires there. All this mixture of dust and smog was brought in by a southeasterly wind."

Details: It is noted that the highest concentration of particles in the air has currently been recorded in Sumy, Poltava, Dnipro and Mykolaiv oblasts. People are advised to avoid being outside and to close windows.
