Ukraine's million-case milestone as 2020 neared its end
A look back at the COVID-19 case count that Ukraine reported in the days before 25 December 2020.
What did Ukraine's COVID-19 toll look like on 25 December 2020? The country had just passed a grim threshold: reports dated 23 and 24 December 2020 said the number of people infected in Ukraine had exceeded one million cases.
The milestone was recorded as part of the wider pandemic in Europe, in which Ukraine was by then counted among the countries reporting more than a million infections.
The figure was reported as a cumulative total of cases, and it arrived as the year drew to a close.
In other news from those days, on 23 December 2020 the Trump administration imposed additional sanctions on Belarusian officials and four offices over human rights abuses linked to the protests against President Alexander Lukashenko.
