At the same time, swimming is not recommended at the city beach on Lake Basiv Kut in Rivne, Lake Zadorozhne in Lviv Oblast, the beach in the village of Kryve Ozero in Mykolaiv Oblast, and the beaches in Shepetivka on the Guska River due to the water not meeting sanitary standards.
In the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions, official swimming areas are not open due to the military situation.
During the Russian attack on June 23, drones flewover the coastal area of Odesa, where vacationers were present. The strike resulted in one fatality and one injury; medical assistance is being provided to the victims, and the circumstances of the incident are being investigated.
The Ministry of Health has released new results from water quality tests at Ukrainian beaches. In most regions, the water meets standards; however, swimming is not yet recommended in several cities due to non-compliance with sanitary standards.
