The Cabinet of Ministers has allocated 51.3 million hryvnias to the Prybuzke and Arbuzynka communities in Mykolaiv region for the fitting out of shelters in educational establishments.

This is stated in Government Resolution No. 1390, according to NikVesti.

The following amounts have been allocated from the state budget to the communities:

• Prybuzke — 27.5 million hryvnias;

• Arbuzynka — 23.7 million hryvnias.

Under the same resolution, the government amended the previously approved funding for two further communities in the Mykolaiv region.

The allocation for the Oleksandrivka community was increased from 27.5 to 45.5 million hryvnias — an increase of approximately 18.1 million.

At the same time, the Domanivka community, which had been allocated 2.85 million hryvnias in the April allocation, was removed from this list.

The Cabinet of Ministers has also authorised the use of small remaining balances from the subvention to complete previously started shelter projects. These are projects that began in 2023–2025, were funded under government decisions in 2025, and have been at least 80 per cent complete. Proposals for their funding will be drawn up by a commission upon submission by regional administrations, without taking into account the level of security risk to the community.

As a reminder, NikVesti previously reported on the construction of shelters in these two communities. In Arbuzynka, a tender was announced in 2024 for a shelter for Lyceum №2, with an estimated cost of 39.3 million hryvnias. In Prybuzke, 53.4 million hryvnias were earmarked for the construction of a shelter for the local lyceum.

Furthermore, in the Oleksandrivka community, work on the lyceum’s shelter has been underway since 2023. Under three previous contracts, the contractor was paid 49 million hryvnias, but the project was not completed. Subsequently, a fourth contract was signed — with Vozbud Plus Ltd for 49.8 million hryvnias. The shelter is designed to accommodate 860 people, and the work is due to be completed by the end of 2027.
