The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the second allocation of state subsidies for the renovation of school cafeterias. In total, communities in 15 regions will receive 421.1 million hryvnias to modernize the food service system in educational institutions.

According to the government’s decision, the funding will be directed toward the purchase of modern equipment, as well as the creation and renovation of 25 school cafeterias.
