Reconstruction should be in the focus of every minister, regional and local leader. This is one of the main vectors by which the work will be evaluated, stressed the Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a session of the Cabinet of Ministers on June 28.
“We have created the Fund for the Elimination of the Consequences of Armed Aggression. This is one of the main sources of funding for reconstruction. We have accumulated almost UAH 62 billion in the Fund. The Government has allocated UAH 23.5 billion for various recovery projects,” noted the Head of Government.
In particular, UAH 4.4 billion was earmarked for the eVidnovlennia program, UAH 6.6 billion – to rebuild critical infrastructure, UAH 1.5 billion – for new water pipelines to provide cities in the South with drinking water and UAH 1 billion – to restore damaged and destroyed facilities after the terrorist attack at the Kakhovka HPP.
“Now we can see that despite the allocated funds, the projects are moving too slowly. Therefore, I repeat once again for all heads of central executive bodies and local authorities: recovery is a priority, people are waiting for help!” emphasized Denys Shmyhal.
