A civic centre that houses a clinic, municipal government office and a post office has been built in Synyak, in the County of Kyiv, the foreign ministry said on Saturday.

Speaking at the inauguration of the centre, Levente Magyar, the deputy foreign minister, said the investment was completed at a cost of 2 million euros, in a relatively short period of time. The centre could serve as a model for projects in Hungary, too, he added.

With its assistance for Ukraine, Magyar said Hungary had undertaken the biggest humanitarian aid campaign in its history, welcoming refugees and supporting the reconstruction of institutions that had been damaged or destroyed in the war.

László Lehel, who heads Hungarian Interchurch Aid, said a pre-fabricated kindergarten and a first-aid station had been built with Hungarian assistance in the region. The reconstruction of a school damaged in the war is under way and is set to open in September 2025, he added.
