According to Ukrinform, the Ministry for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine reported this.

This topic was discussed at a meeting focused on providing support to the evacuated population, chaired by Deputy Head of the President's Office Iryna Vereshchuk.

The meeting included representatives from the Ministry of Reintegration, international and public organizations, and several regional military administrations.

The focus was on accessibility and the arrangement of temporary living spaces for elderly and mobility-impaired internally displaced persons, including the accessibility of facilities for those with limited mobility.

During the meeting, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine Matthias Schmale emphasized that the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, together with partners, had decided to allocate USD 20 million to support local organizations that assist vulnerable population groups.
