The Ministry of Development, together with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Health, have identified a list of key logistical routes and evacuation corridors that are critical for the medical and defense systems. This includes about 600 km of roads that require special anti-drone protection measures. Road repair works have already been deployed across the country. A separate track is frontline roads that provide military logistics, medical evacuation, and supplies for the Defense Forces.
According to preliminary estimates, the total funding requirement for these areas exceeds 12.8 billion hryvnias. A mechanism for joint financing with the Ministry of Defense is also currently being developed to restore these routes and implement the necessary engineering and protective solutions.
Meanwhile, the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine emphasizes that the main logistical routes of the state, international transport corridors, and defense logistics roads remain an unchanged priority.
