Eco-inspectors calculated 17.6 million hryvnias in damages from the debris of the maternity hospital and women's counseling center in Mykolaiv after the spring shelling by Russian troops.

In addition, rocket attacks in September damaged the buildings of the family outpatient clinic No. 1 and No. 2, which littered the land for 122.5 million hryvnias, the State Environmental Inspection of the South-West District reports on Facebook.

Damages from the blockage from the destruction of the maternity hospital reached 9.6 million hryvnias, and from the women's consultation - 8 million.

"Information about the damage has been entered into the general register of damages caused to the environment as a result of the invasion of the Russian Federation," the message emphasized.

The message added that on August 1, the building of the family clinic No. 2 was destroyed. Its debris created 0.5 m3 of waste, which littered 603 m2 of territory. Eco-inspectors calculated 6.9 million hryvnias of damage to the environment.
