Part of a house destroyed by shelling is being dismantled in Mykolaiv

In Mykolaiv, with the support of the United Nations Development Program, a partial dismantling of an apartment building at 54 Yevhenia Loginova Street (Krylova) has begun.

This became known from a briefing by Ihor Nabatov, deputy director of the city council's Department of Housing and Communal Services, on January 22.

According to Nabatov, the project to dismantle the damaged apartment buildings will begin in early 2026. For a long time, the city could not start these complex works either on its own or with the help of partners. In particular, representatives of the UNDP visited the site several times, but initially refused due to the high technical complexity. However, the UNDP tender documentation now includes partial dismantling work separately, and this facility is planned to be one of the first to be implemented.

After the destroyed entrance is partially dismantled, the Department of Housing and Communal Services will conduct a technical examination of the structures. It is this expert opinion that will determine the fate of the building: whether they will limit themselves to partial dismantling or whether the entrance will have to be demolished completely.

Nabatov emphasized that the Department and UNDP have already reached an agreement on parallel work. As soon as the dismantling work begins, the Department will immediately sign a contract for a technical inspection. This approach will make it possible to use special equipment as efficiently as possible and avoid its downtime if the examination confirms the need for complete demolition of the entrance.

The history of the restoration of the house at 54 Krylova Street dates back to September 2022, when the building was heavily damaged by an enemy attack with S-300 missiles. The situation remained at a standstill for a long time: in October 2023, the residents of the dilapidated high-rise building officially refused to dismantle the damaged part.

At the time, the Department of Housing and Communal Services admitted that they had no ready-made legal or technical solution to overcome this resistance and solve the problem.
