Throughout 2021, the Kyiv city authorities continued to solve urgent issues to increase the comfort and safety of citizens: 70 km of heating networks were updated, more new buses, trams and trolleybuses appeared on the routes of the capital's communal public transport, 185 km of cycle paths and lanes were installed, and the network of high-speed tram lines was modernized. In total, 198 road infrastructure objects were updated in Kyiv in 2021. This year, the capital has traditionally allocated the most funds from the budget to the field of education - UAH 26 billion. Public facilities were re-equipped for the needs of people with disabilities with tactile tiles, ramps, lowered curbs and elevators. In 2021, Kyiv continued its fight against the spread of COVID-19. The city allocated UAH 266.7 million to combat the pandemic, and UAH 1.2 billion was allocated to additional payments to doctors.

Due to the large-scale military invasion of russia on February 24, 2022, many urban development projects were put on hold. Currently, the assessment of the damage caused to the city by the war continues. Together with strategic partners, Kyiv is considering ways to attract funds for the repair and reconstruction of the city. Options for returnable and non-returnable financial assistance, loans and funds received from the russian federation as reparations are being considered. Decisions on attracting such funds will be made after the end of the war.
