Mykolaiv patrol officers to get electric vehicles instead of Dusters and a lift truck

The Mykolaiv patrol police will receive two Hyundai electric vehicles, purchased with funds from the city budget. Today, November 11, the Mykolaiv City Council Executive Committee unanimously approved the corresponding amendments to its earlier decision.

The subsidy for the Patrol Police Department will remain unchanged at UAH 2.5 million. The amendments only concern what will be purchased with the funds.

The item was presented at the meeting by Yurii Aharkov, head of the Department for Defense and Mobilization Affairs and Cooperation with Law Enforcement Agencies at the Mykolaiv City Council. He explained that the original decision provided for the purchase of two Renault Duster vehicles and a hydraulic lift. Representatives of the patrol police asked to replace those items with electric vehicles.

Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych noted that this draft decision has already been amended more than once.
