Dust from the Sahara has arrived in Ukraine. It can be harmful to people with respiratory diseases, the elderly, and children, according to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center.
According to weather forecasters, the dust was brought by a warm wave from the western Mediterranean, which has caused abnormally warm weather in the country in recent days.
"Residents of the western region could observe it (dust - ed.) yesterday, and today it will spread to most regions of Ukraine. The sky will be dim," the statement says.
Ukrainians were urged to close their windows and warned about the dangers of dust for people with respiratory diseases, the elderly, and children.
