As part of the meeting , Acting Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine Andriy Danik reported on how many protective structures currently meet the requirements and how shelters are inspected.

Currently, about 84% of the shelters are fully compliant. A joint commission of the SES of Ukraine and state authorities inspects the shelters on a quarterly basis. In addition, the regulatory framework to increase the number of modular shelters is being actively finalized

Addendum

The participants also raised the issue of mines in Ukraine and the implementation of the State Register of territories contaminated with explosive devices. 

Interior Minister Klymenko noted that despite the enemy's constant attacks, Ukraine continues to demine the land, as the country's economy depends on it. However, he emphasized that it will be possible to fully launch this process only after the end of hostilities.

We are planning to launch the State Register of Areas Contaminated by Explosive Ordnance soon, which will be the responsibility of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. This register will contain information on the owner of the territory, the boundaries and types of explosive items that may be present in the area. In the future, the government will pay compensation to landowners for demining based on the available information
