Head of Kyiv City State Administration Oleksandr Popov has said he is confident that the reconstruction of Andriyivsky Descent in Kyiv will be completed by the end of May 2012.

"We will complete its [Andriyivsky Descent’s] reconstruction by the City Day, by the end of May," he told reporters on Wednesday after attending an open lesson dedicated to Euro 2012 at School No.16 in the Obolon district in Kyiv.

Popov said that Kyiv would receive certain funds by the end of February 2012, including from the state budget, which will help speed up the funding of this project.

He said that the recent bad weather in Ukraine had prevented the necessary reconstruction work from being done.
