More than 20 people died. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko estimates losses from floods in these regions will be more than 4 billion hryvnias ($1 = UAH 4.85). Tymoshenko noted that for covering such losses from the Budget-2008, it is necessary that Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) make amendments to the main financial document. VR Chairman Arseniy Yatseniuk has called VR into a special session. The Ukrainian American community and other communities in Canada, are saddened by the news of this unprecedented calamity. Historically, the largest number of Ukrainian immigrants came to North America from the area now devastated by the flood.
