It should be noted that the new construction of the shelter is by no means new. Despite the fact that the Dream ecosystem states that the project has been implemented since April 2024, the construction contract was signed in 2023 for UAH 36 million. The work was to be completed by the end of 2024. And now they have announced a procurement for construction adjustments.
