After checking, it turned out that almost half of Kyiv's bomb shelters were unusable or closed. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine Oleksandr Kamyshin.

“As of 8 am today [June 4], 1,078 properties have been checked. Of these, half of the non-working ones are not ready for use or the commission could not open. I took it with disbelief that half of them were open and found ready: when yesterday we randomly checked the shelter in the Obolonsky district with our mayor, the vast majority of the shelters were closed. And when we did open them, they turned out to be unusable,” Kamyshin reported and provided the relevant infographic.

Thus, according to the results of the check, 11 percent of shelters in Kyiv were closed, another 33 percent were unusable.

Earlier, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Igor Klymenko reported that after checking 4,800 shelters in the country, “252 civil protection facilities turned out to be closed, 893 were unusable.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered to check bomb shelters throughout the country. This happened after residents of Kyiv complained in May about the inability to get into bomb shelters during an air raid.
