Nearly a quarter of Ukraine's air-raid shelters are locked or unusable, according to an inspection by the interior ministry, raising concerns about civilian safety.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said that city authorities have received "more than a thousand" complaints regarding locked, dilapidated or insufficient air-raid shelters within a day of launching an online feedback service.
