Government establishes an Interdepartmental Group to provide the population with long shelf life food and sanitary and hygienic goods under martial law

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has decided to establish an Interdepartmental Working Group under the leadership of the Ministry of Economy to provide the population with food products for long-term storage and sanitary and hygienic goods under martial law.

The Group comprises representatives of the Office of the President, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food, the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection, and regional military administrations.

Working within the governmental group will simplify the coordination of project participants and will allow to quickly solve problems with the purchase and delivery of necessary goods to areas of active hostilities. We are talking about more than 7 million food packages that are sent to the most war-torn regions. Such packages include long-term storage products, each package is planned for a month of consumption.

The objective of the Interdepartmental Group is to work around the clock to address all problematic issues that arise when providing people with food packages, in particular, to restore logistics chains, find opportunities for safe delivery of packages, systematize and coordinate actions of all authorities.
