Residents of the building on Prince Yaroslav the Wise Street, which suffered damage from a drone strike on the night of May 1, are starting to return home.

The Mayor of Odesa, Hennadii Trukhanov, informed the owners of apartments in the first entrance that they will be able to return to their homes starting Monday. The stabilization work on the building has reached a stage where safety is guaranteed for residents. Over the weekend, the building will be connected to all necessary utilities, and construction debris will be removed from the surrounding area.

According to the contracting organization, the stabilization work is expected to be completed by the end of June. The occupancy of the second entrance is planned to begin in early July, except for apartments that were in the epicenter of the explosion. A separate reconstruction project will be developed for those apartments after the stabilization of the building is complete.

Owners of damaged apartments can receive compensation for housing rent from the Kyiv district administration until they return to their restored apartments.
