    The Government has collected a significant number of issues following its on-site meetings in frontline communities. Systematic work is now underway to solve these problems. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

    At a meeting on 6 August, the Government made several decisions in this regard. The first concerns the supply of liquefied gas to the population.

    “A pilot project will be implemented for residents of Donetsk, Sumy and Kharkiv regions, allowing them to receive gas in cylinders as humanitarian aid. Local authorities will collect applications from citizens and forward them to gas distribution networks. Special attention will be paid to veterans, large families, single people, people with disabilities and the poor,” the Prime Minister said.

    The second step will be to expand the list of priority expenditures that the state will finance in the first place. The Head of Government noted that such requests had come from all regions.

    “This includes funding for the construction of shelters, energy programmes under the Decarbonisation Fund, and also the priority of State Treasury funding for dental prostheses for our defenders will be increased. Such changes will allow us to receive funds faster and finance the necessary works and services without delay,” said Denys Shmyhal.

    According to the Prime Minister, the Government will continue to hold regional meetings to better understand the needs on the ground.
