WHO warns of winter dangers in Ukraine

The World Health Organization warned that millions face a "life-threatening" winter in Ukraine. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Monday that the government will provide transportation, accommodations and medical care with priority for women with children and the elderly.

Vereshchuk last month asked citizens now living abroad not to return to Ukraine for the winter to conserve power. Other officials have suggested that residents in Kyiv or elsewhere who have the resources to leave Ukraine for a few months should do so, so power can be saved for hospitals and other key facilities. The WHO delivered a chilling warning Monday about the energy crisis' human impact on Ukraine.
