Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law that obliges developers to include bomb shelters in all newly constructed buildings, the Ukrainian parliament’s website says.

According to the law, Ukraine is to deploy a network of bomb shelters. This includes bomb shelters constructed in all new buildings.
