All shelters in Ukraine to be urgently inspected – Koretskyi

"The relevant ministries and services, together with the regional military administrations, including the Kyiv City Military Administration, and local authorities within their respective areas of responsibility, will immediately inspect all civil protection shelters to ensure their proper maintenance and unrestricted public access. Every single one, without exception," the statement said.
According to the head of government, all responsible officials have received the relevant instructions.
"Shelters must also be accessible when the danger is already known, but an air-raid alert has not yet been declared. Amid the constant threat of ballistic missile attacks, regional authorities and city administrations must respond more swiftly and act based on the actual need to protect people.
"In the fifth year of the full-scale war, access to shelters should not be a problem in any Ukrainian city. This is unacceptable. People must always be able to enter shelters in advance and without obstruction, especially when there is a ballistic missile threat. This is the personal responsibility of every official," Koretskyi stressed.
Background
- As a reminder, Censor.NET previously reported that tens of thousands of Kyiv residents spent the night in shelters, including stations of the capital’s metro system, during another massive Russian attack.
