Eurean Commission transfers EUR 66M to Ukraine for reconstruction of destroyed schos

According to Ukrinform, Katarina Mathernova, Deputy Director-General of the Eurean Commission's Directorate for Neighborhood Picy and Enlargement Negotiations, who also serves as acting head of the Support Group for Ukraine in the Eurean Commission, said this on Twitter.

"Eurean Commission has disbursed €66 million to Ukraine's budget for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of schoing facilities that have been damaged in the course of the Russian brutal war against Ukraine," she wrote.

The Eurean Union and Ukraine last week signed an agreement on a EUR 100 million support package for the reconstruction of war-damaged schos.

The assistance package includes EUR 34 million in humanitarian aid, out of which EUR 20 million channeled through the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNS) and EUR 14 million through the United Nations Develment Program (UNDP). This support will focus on light and medium repairs including repairs of windows, roofs, doors, sanitation and heating facilities, as well as providing classroom equipment in learning spaces and bomb shelters.

EUR 66 million is to be provided directly to the Ukrainian government as budget support.
