The current shelter infrastructure in Ukraine can only ensure the safety of half of its citizens, despite the country being under constant threat of Russian attacks. This was reported by Interior Minister Klymenko, writes UNN.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported that the current system includes approximately 62,000 protective structures, but this is critically insufficient, especially in regions close to the front line.
Currently, our shelter system includes about 62,000 facilities. This is a lot, but not enough. They can accommodate only half of our country's population. This is especially felt in the frontline regions
According to him, the government is moving from planning to practical steps in reforming the civil protection system.
Today, together with partners and with the participation of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, we moved to the practical stage of launching the Civil Protection Shelters Coalition – a multilateral initiative designed to create a modern and effective network of protective structures in Ukraine
The project envisages the construction of new-type shelters and the modernization of existing ones to ensure an adequate level of safety for Ukrainians during air threats.
