The Cabinet of Ministers supported the initiative of the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development to create national recovery brigades and approved the procedure for implementing this project. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery - Minister of Communities and Territories Development Oleksii Kuleba, writes UNN.
We are scaling up the effective experience of last year, when we involved over 2,000 specialists from all over Ukraine to eliminate the consequences of shelling in the capital
National brigades will allow for the rapid deployment of qualified specialists, equipment, and machinery from different regions to where they are most needed.
Attention will focus specifically on the restoration of heat, water, and electricity supply facilities, drainage systems, as well as residential buildings damaged as a result of Russian attacks.
The formation of the brigades will be coordinated by Ukrzaliznytsia. They will involve specialists from enterprises that have experience in carrying out emergency recovery works.
In 2026, the project will be financed from the reserve fund of the state budget and local budgets.
"The new mechanism will significantly reduce the time needed to eliminate the consequences of attacks and strengthen the ability of communities to respond to emergencies," Kuleba concludes.
