“The undoubted priority at this stage of reconstruction is the restoration of critical infrastructure necessary to ensure the basic needs of Ukrainian citizens. This is a necessary step for returning Ukrainians to their homes and supporting economic development in the regions,” noted the Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister.
Oleksandr Kubrakov clarified that the assistance will involve the provision of goods and services necessary for recovery by Japanese partners. The decision on support will be finalized by concluding a grant agreement with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
“At the beginning of January 2023, it was announced that the government of Japan would allocate 95 million dollars for the reconstruction of Ukraine. These funds will be sent to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as part of a partnership agreement,” added the Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister.
