Ukraine says inspections found nearly a quarter of its air-raid shelters locked or unusable

LA Times  

People take cover at a metro station during a Russian rocket attack in Kyiv, Ukraine, on May 29. Concerns around civilian safety spiked in Ukraine on Saturday, as officials announced that an inspection had found nearly a quarter of the country’s air-raid shelters locked or unusable, just days after a woman in Kyiv allegedly died waiting outside a shuttered shelter during a Russian missile barrage. The Ukrainian interior ministry said through its press service Saturday that of the “over 4,800” shelters it had inspected, 252 were locked and a further 893 “unfit for use.” That same day, the Kyiv regional prosecutor’s office reported that four people were detained in a criminal probe into the 33-year-old woman’s death on Thursday outside the locked shelter. Also on Saturday, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said that city authorities have received “more than a thousand” complaints regarding locked, dilapidated or insufficient air-raid shelters within a day of launching an online feedback service. In the Sumy province further west, a Russian mortar shell killed an 85-year-old man as he sat by the orchard outside his house, the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office reported Saturday.
