During the inspection, only 10 percent of the 245 bomb shelters were found to be usable. Another 20% were considered temporarily limited fit, 35% – limited fit and the same number – completely unsuitable.

It turned out that in 142 protective structures there were no supplies of medicines and water, in 134 there was no ventilation, in 82 there was no light. There were no front doors in 37 bomb shelters. As a result, it was decided to write off 61 of the 245 shelters, and repair the rest. Organizations operating protective structures were supposed to put things in order before July 1.
