The problem of bomb shelters

Against the backdrop of a series of explosions in the Ukrainian capital, it became known about the problem with closed bomb shelters, which local residents began to complain about. As a result, the local prosecutor's office and the police began searches in the Kyiv City State Administration. In particular, they were held in the Department of Municipal Security and Health.

Prior to that, in the Desnyansky district of Kyiv, a polyclinic guard was arrested, who did not open the bomb shelter during an air raid. It was noted that the district prosecutor's office carried out investigative actions in the medical facility itself, and "information on the fact of official negligence that entailed grave consequences" was entered in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to the problem with closed metropolitan bomb shelters. In his criticism of local authorities, he used boxing terminology. “I would say this: maybe a knockout,” the Ukrainian leader threatened.
