PHOTOS: More Than 80% of War-Damaged Kyiv Properties Have Been Restored, Gov’t Says

More than 24,000 damaged or destroyed sites already have been restored in the Kyiv region, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration and Minister for Communities and Territories Development, Oleksii Kuleba, announced Wednesday.

That number represents about 80 percent of the total properties affected by the war, his office estimated.

“The Kyiv region is now 80% restored. That’s over 24,000 out of 30,000 damaged or destroyed sites—including residential buildings, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure,” the statement from Kuleba reads.

He added that nearly 16,500 families in the region have received compensation for damaged housing totaling over UAH 2.2 billion (about $53 million). More than 4,000 families have used housing certificates or begun building new homes with state support, receiving over UAH 8 billion (about $193 million) in state funding.

In the northwestern Kyiv suburb of Irpin, for example, 3,111 of the 3,860 damaged sites already have been repaired, Kuleba said.

The Deputy Prime Minister went on to insist that the city is actively rebuilding, with new residential complexes rising alongside restored buildings. A portion of the apartments will be offered under special terms to families affected by the war or in need of additional support.

“This approach will combine recovery and development with housing accessibility. Irpin will serve as a pilot city for this model,” Kuleba said.
