KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – 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.”

“Quarter of Ukrainian Bomb Shelters Unusable or Locked, Say Officials”

Even so, that gives them 3/4’s more bomb shelters than the US (and probably Western Europe) has.

One of my long-running complaints about the Neocon drive to get World War 3 started is that they have done crap for our civil defense, which is NOT the case with the country we’re likely to exchange firecrackers with.

I thought Russia was out of missiles and Ammo and are fighting with shovels. Why do they need bomb shelters?

And what handful of missiles Russia has left Ukraine always shoots down 15 out of 10

No one has supported civil defense because they can’t get immediate votes from it.

But stop your inane and insane inserting of the word “neocon” everywhere as a complete non sequitur.

Then again I couldn’t sleep last night the damn neocons put too many jalapeños on my burger.

Then don’t worry about it. I thought Putin conquered Ukraine in 3 days.

How is this possible? Ukraine boasts it shoots down all incoming missiles. Why do they even need bomb shelters?

On the bright side, their bomb shelters are likely not filled with drug addicts, used needles, do not stink of urine and are covered in graffiti.

What goes up ( UK air defense) is coming back down
On the city

Seen videos of Patriot missile tail section landing in the middle of 6 lanes of traffic?

If your govt establishes missile sites, tank parking, or troop barracks beside your home, prob need a good bomb shelter when the sirens go off

Are you familiar with the intent of waysides along the highway system and the reason people are behind the states desire to delete them?

Ever been to a abandoned military base? Many abandoned buildings in your town?

Uhh, you might be missing the obvious. Such are locked ‘cause that is where the tyrant is storing the cash BeijingBiden gave him - before sending the requisite 10% cut back to the BigGuy.
This is part of how money laundering works — and that is Uk’s main business.

I’m not here to please the Neocons, nor their supporters, but just like we point out RINOs, I’ll continue to point out Neocons - particularly when they put my country in danger.

Yeah it’s in the old bomb shelters.

Did you have any other stupid fantasies today?

I think some of you are delusional.
