These are modern buses equipped with everything necessary for students' comfortable and safe transportation.
"This is significant support, because most of the communities in the region have faced the consequences of a full-scale invasion. We thank our partners for all the assistance provided over the past almost three years! This is extremely important for us!", Anton Tabunshchyk, Chairman of the Mykolaiv Regional Council, said.
The project was implemented with the support of Dmytro Tarasenko, an expert from the Recovery and Development Office who works at the Mykolaiv Regional Development Agency.
