KIEV, Nov. 16 – Global warming will bring more frequent floods, droughts and an increase in insect-borne disease to Ukraine, ecologists warned.

"Global climate change will bring about a general increase in air temperatures and more frequent natural disasters in Ukraine," the climate change program coordinator at the National Ecological Center of Ukraine Khrystyna Rudnytska said at a press conference.

According to Rudnytska, western regions of the country will suffer from more frequent floods, while the country's eastern and southern regions will face droughts, problems with drinking water, and desertification. In addition, Ukraine might face a problem atypical for the region – the spread of diseases such as malaria.
