SEVERAL DAYS of warm weather in Ukraine this week have killed four people after the thaw weakened winter ice, officials said yesterday.

On Sunday, two villagers died when their tractor fell through the ice as they drove across a frozen water reservoir in the central Vinnytsia region.

And on Monday two children fell through thin ice and drowned in a lake in the capital Kiev.
