The next step is training with elements of a simulation exercise at agri-food markets in different cities of Ukraine. In early July, such training took place in Zhytomyr, where they simulated that a pig carcass infected with anthrax had been brought into the veterinary laboratory. The trainings are ongoing. The next two are scheduled to be held in Ivano-Frankivsk and Cherkasy in the near future.
