As a result of the large-scale fires that broke out following yet another round of combined shelling by the Russian Federation, a significant deterioration in air quality has been recorded across Kyiv.
This is evidenced by data from the SaveEcoBot and AQICN interactive maps, reports Censor.NET, citing "UP".
Air quality in the capital
According to online air quality monitoring maps, elevated levels of harmful substances have been recorded in all districts of the capital.
