The propagandists claim that the disease was allegedly caused by the pollution of the Dnipro River by the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers and the failure of the treatment facilities.
Having verified the information on the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the city with the Kherson RMA, the Center reports that no outbreaks of infections have been recorded, the epidemic situation is normal.
The LCC reminded that the Chornobaivska community in Cherkasy Oblast recently conducted a daily study of water sanitation indicators.
However, even there, the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection did not find any dangerous deviations from the norms, and the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the region is stable.
"This fake is aimed at spreading panic among the population and discrediting the Armed Forces," the National Security and Defense Council's Center for Political Analysis said.
