Odesa utility workers return from building fortifications in the east

Odesa utility workers who were engaged in the construction of fortifications in the east of the country have returned to Odesa.

This was reported by the head of the Odesa City Military Administration, Serhiy Lysak.

"Together with acting mayor Igor Koval, we met 14 Odesa utility workers who returned from the east of the country, where they worked side by side with the military to build fortifications," he said.

On May 25, a group of employees of Odesa utility companies went to build fortifications in the Donetsk sector. The work involved 14 volunteers. As the mayor's office stated at the time, the group was provided with everything they needed: equipment for work, protective gear, and medicines. They also received first aid training.

In early April, the Standing Committee on Budget Planning and Finance of the Odesa City Council agreed to submit to the session amendments to the budget that 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 tetrapods began to be installed on the Black Sea coast.
