Following the meeting, we will allocate an additional UAH 3 billion from the state budget's reserve fund to ensure pothole repairs on roads in frontline regions and public roads of national importance with high traffic intensity.

"We are not talking about capital works, but about basic safety and passability. Weather conditions allow repair crews to work. Repairs will be completed by June 1," the head of government said.
