More than 9,000 hectares of agricultural land have been flooded in five Ukrainian regions because of the spring snow-melt and heavy rain, the state emergencies service said on Tuesday.
It said a seasonal rise in water levels had been registered in the Volyn, Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Rivne, Poltava, Cherkasy and Chernihiv regions.
"The hydrological situation is currently under control," the service said on Facebook.
