Details: Lysohor said the children are staying in a hospital in Saratov Oblast. Over 30 out of 125 children have high temperatures.

Medical workers are examining all of them, taking blood tests and trying to establish a diagnosis. Luhansk students are isolated from others.

Lysohor reported that the 12-year-old girl from Luhansk lost consciousness on the train and that they did not manage to save her.

Quote: "The local government assures that they will organise a ‘hotline’ with parents. However, there is no connection with many of them due to the lack of mobile signal coverage in several cities and villages of the so-called LPR [Luhansk People's Republic – ed.].

These children were returning from Tyumen, where they went for health improvement. Not in the summer, not to Krasnodar Krai, for example, but to Tyumen in December.

They took them to a regular children's camp. Just recently, students from Sievierodonetsk went to the frosty Perm Oblast.

Their immune systems didn’t withstand it. They couldn't improve [the health of – ed.] the boys and girls."
