Svyrydenko emphasized that the funds will be directed towards the most critical road sections, highlighting the importance of road safety and accessibility for residents seeking medical services, schools, and other essential facilities. She noted, “For our Defense Forces, this is a matter of evacuation, logistics, and ensuring unit readiness.” The funding will be distributed among all regions and is contingent upon co-financing with local budgets.

Of this amount, 12 to 14 billion hryvnias will be allocated for the restoration of international and national roads, which will be prioritized.
