Lyceum was ened in Borodyanka, which was almost completely destroyed by Russians

The Lithuanian-Ukrainian Lyceum, which was damaged by the Russian occupiers at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, has started a new scho year in Borodyanka, Kyiv region.

The lyceum was restored by the Lithuanian Central Project Management Agency, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Today is a special day for the institution. Including for 37 first-graders. I gladly accepted the invitation from them to come to the first bell celebration. I would be happy to study in such an institution myself,” said Ruslan Kravchenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, during the ening of the lyceum and on the occasion of the new scho year.

At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian occupiers damaged the buildings of the educational institution by almost 80%.

The Lithuanian agency Central Project Management Agency helped to restore the institution.

In addition to the restoration and arrangement, a new underground bomb shelter was built in the scho to ensure the educational process during air raids. The adjacent infrastructure has also been arranged, including walkways, lighting, and sports grounds.

The scho has been provided with new furniture and computer equipment, and new equipment has been installed in the scho's canteen.

According to the Central Project Management Agency's website, almost EUR 8 million was spent on the lyceum's renovation, including EUR 1.8 million donated by Taiwan. The work lasted 18 months and was completed in March 2024.
