Also, as reported by the UkrHydromet Center, wind currents are entering Ukraine from the Caspian lowland, where a dust storm and high air pollution are ongoing. Dust will reach the territory of Kyiv region on October 1 and 2, but its amount will be smaller. At the same time, the quality of air in Kyiv Oblast may also deteriorate due to the movement of carbon monoxide with smog, which will spread from outside Ukraine from the northeast.
