BBC Ukraine Update - 14/06/2022

14/06/2022. The battle in the east of Ukraine continues. New research suggests Russia is continuing to earn huge amounts of money selling its oil and gas, despite facing tighter sanctions around the world since its invasion of Ukraine began. And, the human rights organisation, Amnesty International, says hundreds of civilians in the north-eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv have been killed by indiscriminate shelling. Here's your update from the BBC....

BBC. The Ukrainian port city of Mariupol, all but destroyed by weeks of shelling and now under Russian control, is at risk of a major cholera outbreak, the UK defence ministry says.

Much of the city's infrastructure is damaged or destroyed and water has mixed with sewage, according to the UN.

Cholera is usually caught by eating or drinking contaminated food or water and is closely linked to poor sanitation.

Uncollected dead bodies and rubbish add to the unsanitary conditions.

There have been outbreaks of the disease in Mariupol before, and isolated cases have been reported in the past month.
