The State Special Transport Service will provide current repairs of front-line roads, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced on social networks on Tuesday, UNN reports.
We provide opportunities for current repairs of front-line roads, which are key for the logistics of the Defense Forces. The State Special Transport Service will be responsible for restoring roads in front-line territories and in the zone up to 40 km from the line of hostilities.
According to her, the government adopted a corresponding decision, "which will allow immediate commencement of work in priority areas - where military personnel move, wounded are evacuated, and supplies are provided."
"The government has designated the DSST as the sole customer for works and procurements for current repairs and maintenance of roads in and near the combat zone. The General Staff determines the list and priority. Work begins immediately after the list is approved and damage is surveyed," Svyrydenko said.
Funding "will be carried out within the DSST budget," the Prime Minister indicated.
Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov clarified that the decision accelerates the repair and protection of state-owned roads for military and medical logistics.
