Security of the Kyiv City Council building for 2026
The Kyiv City Council has decided to order security for its building in 2026 from the security police for a total of UAH 28.43 million. Security measures will be in effect throughout the year. To ensure the safety of the facility, 15 security posts will be installed around the Kyiv City Council administrative building, and 30 people will be involved in carrying out the duties.
The cost of security per hour will be UAH 303. By comparison, in 2025, the Kyiv City Council ordered security for UAH 24.89 million, and the cost of security per hour then was UAH 265.2. Thus, there is an increase in security expenses in 2026 compared to the previous year.
Economic situation in the city
It should be noted that the amount of damages incurred by the joint-stock company 'Kyivmetrobud' amounts to UAH 2.3 billion. This information may indicate a difficult economic situation in the city; however, details regarding the connection with the security of the City Council building are not provided.
The decision of the Kyiv City Council to increase security expenses indicates the priority of ensuring the safety of administrative buildings in the context of the overall situation in the city. The rising cost of security may reflect not only inflationary processes but also increased demands for security levels. In the face of economic challenges and substantial losses for businesses, it is essential to monitor the efficiency of budget expenditure on such services.
