Denys Shmyhal: Government allocates UAH 1.4 billion for the purchase of mobile boiler rooms, diesel generators, water purification systems and pumping stations

The Cabinet of Ministers agreed to allocate UAH 1.4 billion for the purchase of stand-by equipment and additional materials that will help provide people with heat and water in case of infrastructure destruction. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced during his trip to Chernihiv region.

According to him, the plans include the purchase of mobile boiler rooms, diesel generators, water purification systems, pumping stations and many other things that will be needed in an emergency.

"We understand that the russian army is terrorists who deliberately destroy critical infrastructure, water, electricity and heat supply facilities. We are preparing for all possible scenarios," Denys Shmyhal emphasized.

Apart from that, on July 13, the Government created an Operational Headquarters for providing the country with construction materials at an on-site meeting in Chernihiv region.

"The Headquarters will operate throughout the country, and representatives of all regions, builders, industry members, and government officials will be involved in its work. Our goal is the fastest and most efficient reconstruction of damaged objects of the entire infrastructure, in particular of housing for Ukrainians," the Prime Minister emphasized.

In general, the Government has already distributed UAH 2.3 billion to the regions to urgently restore critical infrastructure. As the Prime Minister noted, technical and project documentation for the reconstruction of 1,700 objects had already been prepared in 5 regions: "These are boiler systems, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, residential and administrative buildings and many other infrastructure objects. People should see that wherever possible, reconstruction is taking place."
