Kyiv, June 6 (UNI) The UK Defence Ministry on Friday said Mariupol city in Ukraine is at a risk of a 'major cholera outbreak' amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The UK ministry in a series of tweet said, "Fighting continues around Sieverodonetsk. Russia is again in control of most of the city, but its forces have made little progress in attempts to encircle the wider area from the north and south".
"Russia is struggling to provide basic public services to the population in Russian-occupied territories. Access to safe drinking water has been inconsistent, while major disruption to telephone and internet services continues," it said.
