“The 16th month of full-scale war. It would seem that during this time, responsible officials should have identified and corrected all the shortcomings in the issue of human security. The enemy continues large-scale shelling of cities. But still some shelters remain closed during the air raid alert,” the minister was indignant.

“During the air raid curfew, they will drive around the shelters on the city map and check whether they are open. And they will promptly transmit information to the city services,” Klitschko said.
As reported earlier, police in Kyiv detained a polyclinic security guard who did not open the shelter, which resulted in the deaths of people who did not get into it. People tried to reach him for 15-20 minutes.
It was also reported that the Air Defense Forces shot down 10 of the 10 Iskander missiles used by Russia to attack Kyiv.
