Eco-inspectors have estimated 1.45 million hryvnias in damages from the soil littering with destruction waste after the Russian shelling of the Mykolaiv National University named after V. O. Sukhomlynskyi.

The buildings of the institution were hit by two rockets, namely on July 5 and August 2, 2022, the State Environmental Inspection of the South-West District reports on Facebook.
