Chernihiv Oblast will receive UAH 150 million for full restoration of water supply — funds will go to Chernihivvodokanal (water supply company) for the reconstruction of one of the pumping stations and transformer substations.

Shmyhal points out that the government has already allocated a total of 1.4 billion hryvnias for the reconstruction of the affected five regions.

"Water, electricity, and gas have reappeared in hundreds of thousands of homes. Dozens of roads and bridges have been restored. Hundreds of kilometers of territory were demined. After our final victory, we will not just restore everything that the enemy destroyed, but we will make it even better", the Prime Minister said.

• Earlier, the Minister of Finance Serhiy Marchenko said that rebuilding Ukraine would cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
