A new group of Odesa utility workers went to build fortifications in Donetsk Oblast

On May 25, a group of employees of Odesa utility companies went to build fortifications in the Donetsk direction.

This was reported by the press service of the Odesa municipality.

This time, 14 volunteers will join the work. According to the mayor's office, the group was provided with everything they needed: equipment for work, protective equipment, and medicines. They also received first aid training.

"We pay special attention to safety rules - it is critical to preserve life and health. We thank our utility workers for their courage, dedication and work. Their work is not just fortification, but a contribution to the defense of the country and support for our defenders," commented Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov.

In early April, the Standing Committee on Budget Planning and Finance of the Odesa City Council agreed to submit amendments to the budget to the session, which provided for the allocation of more than 70 million to eliminate the consequences of Russia's armed aggression. At that time, 11 million 760 thousand hryvnias were allocated to the Department of Labor to help housing and communal services workers who built fortifications on the front line and are involved in eliminating the consequences of armed aggression.

Last year, on September 1, a group of employees of Odesa utilities went to build fortifications in the Donetsk sector.

In the winter of 2024, the Odesa Regional Military Administration responded to the posts of journalists and Ivan Rusev, an employee of the Tuzly Estuaries National Nature Park, and ordered the tetrapods that had been installed on the coast to be dug out of the sand and moved a little further away. The Center for Public Investigations wrote that in Odesa region, in late spring 2024, concrete defensive structures - tetrapods- began to be installed on the Black Sea coast.
