A separate site will be prepared for the generator; once installed, it is to be connected, configured and earthed. External water supply and drainage networks will also be connected to the shelter, and the area around the building will be landscaped.

Work is scheduled to be completed by 11 December 2026.

This is not the first procurement for the construction of this shelter. In 2025, a contract worth 7.3 million hryvnias was already signed for the works. According to data from the public spending monitoring website Spending.gov.ua, the entire sum has now been paid to the contractor, Antares-Bud.

It should be noted that over the past two years, 442 staff posts have been cut in kindergartens in Mykolaiv, where educational activities have been suspended. There are currently 27 such institutions in the city — they are unable to operate due to a lack of shelters.
