An environmental emergency has been recorded in the Kyiv region; about three tonnes of fish have died in several bodies of water. One of the probable explanations is a wastewater leak during repair work at one of the nearby facilities in the capital. This was reported by Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, according to UNN.

According to him, experts are establishing the causes of the incident. One of the probable explanations is a wastewater leak during repair work at one of the nearby facilities in Kyiv. The pollution may have entered the region’s bodies of water through the stormwater drainage system.
While the necessary measures are being carried out, visitor access to the bodies of water is restricted. An investigative-operational team and a commission on issues of technogenic and environmental safety and emergency situations are working at the site. I am keeping the situation under control
