MFA currently sees no threat to Ukraine from possible plague outbreak in Russia

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said this at a briefing on Wednesday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent. "We are monitoring the situation, as are our competent authorities and healthcare system. Literally just days ago, I heard one of their briefings myself, so they are monitoring the situation there very closely. As of now, there is no threat to Ukraine," he said. Tykhyi noted that Ukraine has a visa regime with Russia and there is no passenger traffic between the countries, while other countries are closing their borders with Russia.
