The Lithuanian government on Wednesday allocated 5 million euros to Ukraine’s education sector.

The money will go towards the reconstruction and adaptation of destroyed Ukrainian schools and kindergartens, including the installation of bomb shelters and other safety equipment, the Finance Ministry said.

This planned support was announced during Finance Minister Gintarė Skaistė’s visit to Kyiv in March.

The money will be used to rebuild Ukraine’s educational and scientific institutions damaged or destroyed during the ongoing war, as well as to purchase teaching aids and computer equipment, upgrade the research and innovation infrastructure network, and ensure a safe educational environment.

The Finance Ministry estimates that Lithuania has provided Ukraine with aid worth around 1.5 percent of its GDP since the outbreak of the war.
