Relevant orders developed by MinRegion were adopted at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on April 26.

“As a result of Russia’s military aggression, Ukraine’s infrastructure has suffered significant damage – thousands of houses, schools, hospitals, as well as housing and communal services have been damaged or destroyed. Therefore, the Government is taking priority steps to restore vital services to the population and perform major construction and repair work in municipalities affected by the war,” said Oleksiy Chernyshov, Minister for Communities and Territories Development.

It is a question of carrying out works on inspection of buildings and constructions, repair and replacement of windows, repair of roofs, repair of heat, water, gas and electric networks, dismantling of the destroyed designs, etc.
