“The most difficult situation is now on the Dnieper. As a result of the passage of the spring flood, we are seeing an active increase in the water level, in particular, red and orange danger levels have been declared. By regions, these are: Kiev, Cherkassy, \u200b\u200bPoltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Kirovohrad and Zaporozhye regions,” Perevozchikov noted..

He added that in the Chernihiv region, the formation of high levels of spring floods in the Chernihiv region is observed.. High water peak is expected from 18 to 28 April.

“It is impossible to say exactly about the date on which the peak of the flood will occur, because this is a process of hydrodynamics, that is, the movement of water along the channel. We have, according to forecast data, a period of 10 days from April 18 to April 28. It is during this period that we expect the passage of the maximum levels,” explained Perevozchikov.
