Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine Tymur Tkachenko said that in February alone, 228 objects were added to the fund of civil defense facilities. Namely:
- 196 shelters were repaired;
- 6 was built from scratch;
- 23 modular shelters were installed;
- 3 facilities were reconstructed/restored.
The politician noted that the priority is still to provide shelter in civilian and healthcare facilities.
It is noted that last month, civil defense shelters were built on the territory of 103 schools and kindergartens, which will allow even more children to receive knowledge offline.
Shelters have also appeared in 7 more healthcare facilities and 41 residential buildings. In addition, 67 shelters were set up in administrative buildings and cultural institutions, including modular shelters on the streets of frontline cities.
The enemy attacks Ukrainian cities every night with missiles of various calibers and attack UAVs. Our main task is to protect the civilian population, so I am asking those in charge on the ground to monitor the condition of the shelters and ensure unimpeded access to them.
