As of early September 2025, contractors are developing projects to repair shelters in nine schools and kindergartens in Mykolaiv.

This was stated by Oleksii Savchuk, Director of the Capital Construction Department of the Mykolaiv City Council, during his online briefing on 4 September, according to NikVesti.

Currently, he says, shelters for nine educational institutions are at the design stage: The Academy of Children's Creativity, Lyceum №8, gymnasiums №18, 10, 14 and 33, as well as three kindergartens — 65, 75 and 126.

«We hope that in the near future we will be able to start implementing them», added Oleksii Savchuk after announcing the list of institutions.

A total of 310 million hryvnias is needed to build shelters in Mykolaiv educational institutions, according to the city budget for 2025. The most expensive shelter is to be built at gymnasium №10, with an estimated cost of 70 million hryvnias, while all the others will cost 30 million hryvnias each.

As a reminder, in 2024, the Capital Construction Department of the City Council spent 7.6 million hryvnias on the construction of shelters in schools and kindergartens in Mykolaiv.

Prior to that, the Capital Construction Department had named the safety component as a priority for its work in 2025. The plan was to build seven new shelters in schools and kindergartens, and to overhaul three more in hospitals.

At the same time, Mykolaiv region was among the three regions where the largest number of school shelters were built under the programme «School Offline».
