"We must be patient": the Verkhovna Rada told why roads will not be repaired in Ukraine
Kyiv • UNN
The Verkhovna Rada reported on the lack of funds for the repair of roads remote from the front. Only critical repairs in the frontline areas in the amount of UAH 12.6 billion will receive funding.
The restoration of roads in frontline areas remains a priority, while the repair of roads remote from the fighting is postponed due to lack of funds. This was stated by Oksana Savchuk, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on transport and infrastructure and chairman of the subcommittee on road safety and Transport Safety, on the air of the telethon, reports UNN.
If we are talking about front-line roads, then we definitely need money for their revival, but if we are talking about long-distance roads that are far from military operations, then we do not allocate funds for this. We must be patient and make only emergency major repairs on state roads
According to her, funds are available only for critical road repairs.
We have little money for the next year. As of today, we have the means to close only critical situations in front-line and front-line cities
Recall
Earlier, the draft state budget for 2025 provided more than UAH 43 billion for the Road Fund, which caused dissatisfaction due to non-compliance with promises.
Later, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced that the road fund will not be financed in 2025 , but UAH 12.6 billion will be allocated for the repair of sections important for defense and the functioning of the state economy.
