Government distributes UAH 830 million in subventions to the regions to continue the work on the construction of shelters and creation of safe conditions in schools: Prime Minister

The Government has adopted a decision to enable Ukraine to receive USD 84 million from the World Bank under the HOPE project. Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced this during a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on 18 April.

“These funds will be used to pay compensation for eVidnovlennia. In total, more than 96,000 Ukrainian families have already received support from the state under this programme,” noted the Prime Minister.

He accentuated that at a time when every hryvnia of taxpayers' money was spent on the defence and security of the country, the Government was constantly working to attract additional funding for the reconstruction.

Besides, Denys Shmyhal highlighted that an education sector also plays an important role in the reconstruction process with safety as a key element.

Another critical decision endorsed today in this direction is as follows: the Government distributes UAH 830 million in subventions to the regions to continue the work on the construction of shelters and creation of safe conditions in educational institutions. The funds will be allocated to 15 communities and the regional budgets of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Khmelnytsky regions.

Over the past two years, a record UAH 14 billion for school shelters has been disbursed, Denys Shmyhal reminded.
