In Mykolaiv, cases of vandalism in green areas were recorded: unknown persons damaged flower beds in the Council of Europe park and on Fleet Boulevard. The incidents occurred at a time when spring plantings began to bloom in the city.
According to the Mykolaiv City Council, employees of the municipal enterprise Mykolaiv Parks had previously planted tulips at these locations. However, during the planned landscaping work, it was discovered that some of the flowers had disappeared or been damaged.
The company emphasizes that such actions are unacceptable, as each planted plant is the result of the daily work of employees who invest time, resources and efforts to keep the city well-groomed and attractive.
The utility is already taking measures to prevent similar incidents in the future and preserve the city's green areas.
At the same time, experts urge residents to be responsible for the common property and take care of the landscaping created for the entire community.
