Kyiv regional governor Ruslan Kravchenko announced this on facebook , Ukrinform reports.
The agreement with Enabel was reached during the Ukraine Recovery Conference.
The funds have been allocated for five objects.

"Russia's full-scale invasion requires us to take new approaches to the organization of the educational process. Today, we are working not only to restore institutions that were destroyed and damaged by the Russians. We are also working to rebuild those that have been in need of repairs for a long time. And the main thing is to increase the safety of education," Kravchenko said.
He said the main requirement was the provision of shelters. And it's not just about repairing basements, but about organizing a space where children can stay comfortably for a long time, he said.
To date, more than 1,200 shelters have been created in educational institutions of all types and forms of ownership.
"The work is ongoing. And I am grateful to the international partners who are involved in the implementation of new similar projects," Kravchenko added.
