The Government has allocated UAH 32.85 million for major repairs and construction of shelters in three general secondary education institutions. These are funds that Ukraine received as part of the Lithuanian government’s support through the UNITED24 fundraising platform.

The relevant resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On the allocation of funds in 2024 from the account for the needs of education and science opened by the Ministry of Education and Science at the National Bank to meet the needs of ensuring a safe educational environment” was approved at a meeting today, 18 July.
