According to the head of the MCA, complaints often came to the authorities from Kyiv residents and city guests who were relaxing on the capital's reservoirs, stating that jet skis, kayaks, and other watercraft often appeared near vacationers who were swimming. They can pose a threat to human life, especially when children are in the reservoir.
We started to investigate. And it turned out that there are simply no local rules (of conduct on reservoirs - ed.) in Kyiv. The requirement to approve them has been in place since August 2022. In other regions, they were approved three years ago. But in Kyiv - either they overslept, or they didn't want to
He reported that as of today, special rules have already been signed, they have been approved by the City Administration and come into force. A message and an order regarding the new requirements will soon appear on the official portal of Kyiv.
Now we must record that there will be separate places for swimming on sports vessels, jet skis, and other means for water entertainment. And the security component will be a priority
He noted that law enforcement officers will hold violators accountable for violating the new rules.
