“We are scaling up last year’s effective experience, when we attracted more than 2,000 specialists from all over Ukraine to eliminate the consequences of shelling in the capital,” he wrote.
National brigades will allow for the rapid deployment of qualified specialists, equipment and machinery from different regions to where they are most needed.
Attention will be focused on the restoration of heat, water and electricity supply facilities, water drainage, as well as residential buildings damaged as a result of Russian attacks.
The formation of brigades will be coordinated by Ukrzaliznytsia. They will include specialists from enterprises with experience in performing emergency restoration work.
In 2026, the project will be financed from the reserve fund of the state budget and local budgets.
