> Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko’s September promise to install 40 to 50 mobile shelters within a month is unlikely to be met: the city administration says only 14 are expected by the end of the year. It said district administrations did not request funding during budget drafting. Four mobile shelters currently operate in Kyiv, while 397 facilities need work to meet readiness requirements.
