Ukraine to make personnel changes over bomb shelter deaths

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday there would be personnel changes following an inquest into the state of Ukraine’s bomb shelters after three
people were locked out on the street and killed during an air raid earlier this month.
Zelenskiy said he had chaired a meeting of the National Security and Defence Council and discussed the security of the Ukrainian people, judicial reforms and Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
“In general, today we have reviewed the situation with shelters in the regions, districts, and cities which are terrorized by the enemy most intensely,” Zelenskiy said in a video posted on the Telegram messaging app.
“The conclusions are disappointing. Almost all over the country. The situation is especially cynical and shameful in those cities that have significant financial resources, but, unfortunately, have other priorities. Personnel decisions will be made.”
A statement issued after the meeting said measures would be taken to “hold accountable officials responsible for the maintenance of civil defence structures” in areas where they were found to be unsatisfactory.
