Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk urged Ukraine’s Parliament to decide on the allocation of capital expenditures from the 2015 State budget for the needs of Koncha-Zaspa Olympic Sports Training Center and Western Sports Rehabilitation Centerin in Lviv. The Head of Government said this on Tuesday, May 26, during a meeting of the organizing committee on preparation for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

He stressed that Western Rehabilitation Sports Center of the National Sports Committee for the Disabled of Ukraine, located in Turkiv district of Lviv region, should be "immediately gotten into shape". He appealed to Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine Ihor Zhdanov, President of the Paralympic Committee Valerii Sushkevych and Head of Lviv Regional State Administration Oleh Syniutka to address the issue of the road which leads to the center and is now in poor condition.

He recalled that the main amount of funds was allocated for Lviv-Ivano-Frankivsk highway’s reconstruction, but he highlighted the need for channeling funds to partial repair of the road in Turkiv district.

The Prime Minister also asked Valerii Sushkevych to measure how much money is necessary for the needs of Western Rehabilitation Sports Center.

In addition, the Government is ready to support the initiative to start the reconstruction of Koncha-Zaspa Olympic Sports Training Center. Arseniy Yatsenyuk urged MPs to allocate several millions of hryvnias from capital expenditures to the needs of these centers in 2015.
