The World Health Organization has stated that this winter, millions of people’s lives in Ukraine will be at risk.
According to Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, half of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, and 10 million people are currently without electricity.
Temperatures are predicted to plummet as low as -20C (-4F) in some areas.
According to BBC News, The WHO has recorded 703 assaults on wellbeing foundation since Russia’s intrusion started.
In one of its largest aerial bombardments of the war this past week, Russia struck additional energy installations and civilian buildings.
Following defeats on the battlefield, Russia has recently employed this strategy, and as winter approaches, its effects are beginning to become more pronounced.
“Put simply, this winter will be about survival,” Dr Kluge told a news conference in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
He added that the best solution is for the conflict to end because Ukraine’s health system is “facing its darkest days in the war so far.”
