The Ukrainian government has allocated an additional 3.88bn hryvnyas for the further construction of defence lines. This was announced by the country’s prime minister, Denys Shmygal.
“Of these funds, 1.7 billion hryvnias will be directed to Kharkiv region, and 1.5 billion hryvnias to Sumy region,” Denys Shmygal wrote in his Telegram channel.
In addition, the additional resource will also receive the Nikolaev region and Kiev-controlled districts of the DNR and Kherson region, the politician noted.
“In total, since the beginning of the year, the government has allocated almost 30 billion hryvnia for the construction and arrangement of fortifications,” – stressed the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
The works, as Shmygal reminded, are going round the clock.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was unable to dislodge the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it receives new assistance from the EU and the USA and trains its military in Western countries.
