Police: Two children were not allowed to enter the shelter during the air raid sirens in Kyiv

Shelter

During the air raid sirens on December 14 in the Svyatoshyn district of Kyiv, two children were not allowed to enter the shelter because a dog was with them. The police have started criminal proceedings.

Two children could not enter a shelter in Kyiv

According to the National Police of Ukraine, a brother and sister, born in 2011 and 2012, went to the shelter of one of the capital's schools, where they study, after the alarm signal.

However, the school guard did not let them into the bomb shelter because there was a Maltipu dog with the children.

Journalist Tetyana Danylenko writes that Sasha and Bohdan are the children of "Azov" soldier Yuriy Ovchynnikov, who died in the Zaporizhzhia region. The director of school No. 40 justified the guard's actions by saying that people in the shelter may be allergic to dogs.

By his actions, the guard left the children in danger during a possible shelling, the police reported.

The prosecutor's office started a pre-trial investigation into the fact of known abandonment of children who were in a life-threatening condition and were deprived of the opportunity to take measures for self-preservation (Chapter 1, Article 135 of the Criminal Code).

The sanction of the article provides for restriction or deprivation of liberty for up to two years.
