In blood centers, supplies of blood and its components started to decrease.

As Interfax-Ukraine was told by the Ukrainian Transplant Coordination Center, the reduction in blood supplies is occurring against the backdrop of the traditional seasonal decline in donor activity, as well as due to the intensification of military operations at the front.

At the same time, the center noted the need to stabilize blood supplies through donations in the country, but for now there are no plans to ask for supplies from abroad.

"Donor blood is prepared in advance, at least a week and a half before it is used," the center said.
