Man dies in flood in Yalta, Crimea

A man was carried away by flowing water

A 26-year-old man died in Yalta, occupied Crimea, in a result of inundation. He was carried away by flowing water as RIA News reported citing so-called head of the annexed peninsula Serhiy Aksyonov.

“Unfortunately, in Yalta, a person of the 1995 year of birth died. It is the first fatal outcome tied with the emergency situation in the territory of the Republic of Crimea. I express heartfelt condolences to relatives and family of the deceased,” Aksyonov stated.

This night, Yalta was covered with rainfall. Due to the flood caused by heavy rains, an emergency situation announced in the city.

Besides, the evacuation of the citizens is announced and the city is closed for entrance. “Currently, the city is closed for entrance as the uncontrolled water carries away cars and people”.

As we reported, the scientists state that the territory of Ukraine passes into the zone of ultra-high temperatures and extreme weather. During the next 30-40 years, the country faces desertification of immense territory.

  1. It’s beautiful here, +29 today, rising to +33 next week, and plenty of clean fresh cool water to drink.

  2. You drink the tap water or do you have drinking water delivered F1?
    I am guessing the latter. To my knowledge, nowhere in Ukraine, Russia or the places that it sadly occupies, has drinking water on tap. In my experience, many parts of Georgia in contrast, do have safe drinking water on tap.

    • Years ago, I used to drink tap water in Ukraine until someone warned me about consuming it straight from the tap. I stopped doing that even though I’ve never had any ill effects from it. Maybe someone else would get poop soup from it, I don’t know. I’m known to have a cast-iron stomach.

      • I did too, until I was warned off! In many parts of Ukraine, water comes from the Dniepr. As I understand it, it goes through filtration, but not enough to remove impurities or heavy metals. If you buy an expensive home filter system, you get good water, but these things are complex to keep clean. Most people have it delivered by tough blokes carrying 20 litre bottles on each shoulder.

        • Our filter system is a 5L plastic jug with a replaceable filter. We just replace the filter on a monthly basis, does a great job. The company that makes them is called Ecosoft.

          • Sounds good. I lived in London for many years. The water, which is heavily filtered Thames water, is perfectly safe, but tasted terrible. Then I moved to the countryside, where it tasted much better, but was still heavily chlorinated.

            • I lived in the NW of England, the water there was very hard, but tasted OK, not that I ever drink much water, unless it is mixed with coffee first.

        • My lady buys it from a special water distributer around the corner. We go there with several large containers and let the lader there fill them up for a few grivnas.

      • We filter our water straight from the tap, never had a problem with it. I wouldn’t drink it without it being filtered, but it looks clear enough.

        • In my opinion the water in the southwest is the cleanest. I even drink it the way it comes out of the faucet. Some years back it had a slight taste of lead. But as of today, i would say it’s safe to drink.

          • All water in the UK is drinkable straight from the tap, some just tastes better than others. It amazes me when so called civilized countries in the EU still have water that looks like sewage coming out of the tap. Spain for example.

  4. I live in the mountains of western North Carolina. The water is naturally soft and tastes quite good straight from the tap.
