The situation with shelters in Mykolaiv

Mykolaiv was on the list of regions with the worst shelter conditions. After inspecting the condition of the shelters throughout Ukraine, the NSDC recognized the unsatisfactory performance of the shelters for use in a number of regions and cities, in particular — Mykolaiv. After that, the mayor dismissed Oleksandr Herasymenia, the head of the department for emergency situations and civil protection of the population. And the first deputy mayor Vitalii Lukov was reprimanded.

Vitalii Kim, the head of Mykolaiv RMA, specified that 69% of abandoned shelters in the region are located in Mykolayiv. At the same time, almost half of the city's residents (47%) rated the condition of bomb shelters in the city as terrible or bad.

Back in May 2023, more than 70 million hryvnias were allocated from the budget of Mykolaiv for the repair and equipping of shelters. However, it turned out that the city budget will not receive funds from 102 million hryvnias, which the state allocated for the repair of shelters in schools and kindergartens of the region. And at the end of August 2023, the head of RMA Vitalii Kim said that he was dissatisfied with shelters in schools in the region.

The head of the education department of the Mykolaiv City Council, Hanna Lychko, reported that shelters are being repaired in 21 schools in the city, and another 9 are at the planning stage. At the same time, the city council announced that by the end of 2023, the housing and communal services department plans to repair 18 of the simplest shelters.

In October 2023, NikVesti reported that the department of architecture of Mykolaiv RMA concluded 27 direct contracts for the development of design and estimate documentation and the carrying out of capital repairs of public sector institutions with the company «Architectural Bureau — Khvylia 89» LLC, which has been in existence for less than six months, within a month and belongs to a member of the public council of the region on restoration issues. Later, the Mykolaiv RMA explained that direct contracts for the design of shelters with this firm allowed to save the budget.
