Today, on 27 August, the Government has allocated UAH 175.42 million for major repairs and construction of shelters in three schools. These are funds that Ukraine received as part of the Lithuanian government's support through the UNITED24 fundraising platform.

In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved a resolution ‘On the allocation of funds in 2024 from the account to meet the needs of education and science opened by the Ministry of Education and Science at the National Bank to ensure a safe educational environment’.

• UAH 84.37 million was allocated for the construction of a radiation protection shelter for the Bilenkiv Lyceum ‘Leader’ (Zaporizhzhia region);
• UAH 78.06 million was allocated for the construction of a civil defence shelter at Lozova Lyceum No. 12 (Kharkiv region);
• UAH 12.98 million will be used to overhaul the civil defence structure of the Pushkarivka Lyceum, Verkhnodniprovsky City Council (Dnipro region).

We thank the Government of Lithuania and the UNITED24 platform for their support of Ukrainian education. We would like to remind you that these are not the first shelters to be built and repaired with this assistance. Earlier, funds were allocated for three educational institutions in Odesa, Dnipro and Sumy regions.
