In Ukraine, and particular in the Kiev region, 425 nuclear shelters are being urgently prepared for operation, said the head of the regional administration Aleksey Kuleba.
According to Ukrainian media, nuclear shelters are equipped on the basis of conventional bomb shelters, which are located at a sufficient depth to protect against an impact. Shelters should be prepared by November 15th.
“We have 425 special shelters in the region. They are located underground, have two entrances and exits, ventilation <…> Most of the nuclear bomb shelters are also radiation shelters. This is every second in the Kiev region. They are better fortified and located at greater depths.» said the head of the Kiev regional military administration Aleksey Kuleba.
The politician also noted that in the event of a nuclear strike, there would not be communications throughout Ukraine, so each shelter must be equipped with battery-operated radios.
“If there is a nuclear attack, then most likely there will be no communication. The only thing that will work is the radio,” he said.
