of course, everyone was there, everyone was there, and the patients were there, and the staff was there. anatoly anatoliyovych heads the city hospital of trostyanets. a man recalls the horrors of the occupation in 2022, one long month that lasted an eternity. the infectious department was even more damaged, the roof was demolished, the complete oxygen station was damaged, the buildings of the military corps were damaged, there was a hit in... the maternity ward, the operating room burned down, completely burned down, the equipment and the premises themselves were destroyed, and the polyclinics were also damaged a lot , polyclinic was completely broken. the hospital accepts patients not only from trostianets, but also from nearby settlements. constant shelling did not prevent them from doing this even during the occupation. we gave birth to eight children in the basement, yes, nine children were born to us.

then our staff in wheelchairs transported these women in labor with their children around trosyanets through roadblocks and it was really what they were heroes, people, heroes. the trostyanets city hospital is very large, it serves half a thousand people every day. the restoration of the institution has happened or not a priority for the city. the city hospital of the city of trostanets during in 2022 during. a full-scale invasion suffered significant destruction up to approximately 30%. the cost of repairs is over uah 90 million. the restoration service of the sumy region undertook to bring the clinic into order, and useful innovations were promised. we provide landings, ramps, special lifting machines, everything to make it convenient for people with reduced mobility. we are also in the restoration project. saw

energy-saving measures, namely insulation, hernia, cellars and settlements. the trostyanets hospital is being restored in full swing, this is what the destroyed department of the polyclinic looks like. everything, everything, everything was done, the gossip was lined, painted, ceilings were made, doors, all communications were changed, that is, the entire complex of all works was done, the volume was completed. somewhere 90-95%, finishing works, these are porches, the main thing, the main work on insulation has already been done. the hospital is not the only object in the city that the regional restoration service undertook, it is the restoration of the railway station, the restoration of two residential five-story buildings, a city hospital, and a public road of state importance. combination of the sum of poltava. in just

one month of occupation, trostyanets suffered significant destruction. this is the city station there. and how great is the damage in general here, what percentage of the station is destroyed, let's say this. i think about 60%. the invaders used the station as a firing position and ammunition depots. that is why the fire was concentrated on him. of our defenders, it is planned that 22 objects will be restored, in particular, our bus station will be restored, the adjacent platform of the bus station, pharmacies, places of public catering, the city council of trostyanets assures that the destruction set the city back from development for 10 years, but the restoration of the destroyed objects is in full swing, the hospital and some residential buildings are promised to be completed by the end of the year. artem lagutenko, oscar yanson.

espresso tv channel. and we will talk in more detail about the reconstruction of the region with ivan smaga, the head of the service for the restoration and development of infrastructure in the sumy region. i congratulate you. good afternoon, mr. viksal. mr. ivan, how are you? are you currently evaluating the progress of reconstruction of housing and infrastructure facilities in sumy oblast and whether it is currently being rebuilt, only facilities that were damaged during the occupation of the region are being rebuilt. have already taken up the restoration of the recently destroyed, all construction works, which are carried out by the service for reconstruction and development of infrastructure in sumy oblast , are carried out according to the approved schedule and the established budget. currently, the restoration service is rebuilding objects that were damaged during the occupation, new objects at the moment we do not... i want to note that the list and

the number of facilities is determined not by the restoration services, but by the cabinet of ministers, therefore , we perform the tasks assigned to us by the state on time, within the budget and with quality , and all for the community and people. and how difficult is it now to restore objects, given the security situation in sumy oblast? oh, thanks for the good question. indeed, on the territory of the region there are very frequent alarms, we are faced with a lack of specialists, there are constant rocket and missile attacks from the enemy, but i want to note. that we ukrainians are an infamous nation, the people of sumy are hardy people, that's why we try to carry out the works on time, and despite the current security situation in the region, all restoration objects will be completed

according to the plans of its management, mr. ivan, what is the situation with the roads and bridges in sumy oblast, for security reasons we cannot show them or specify any exact ones. locations, however, please tell us about the scope of the work carried out and why this work is important now, how does it improve military logistics? i would like to point out that in general, the repair and car maintenance of the existing infrastructure in our country is carried out within the limits of strict economy, because we don't have a road budget, it was transferred to the ministry of defense, and the service is maximum. carries out repairs as high quality and as discreetly as possible, eliminates emergency capacity, repairs damaged and damaged road clothing on all existing roads, but we save money, we do everything qualitatively to

ensure that the infrastructure is in good condition, what is the most to talk about, frankly speaking, we can't, uh, with what problems or difficulties? citizens whose homes were damaged as a result of aggression are faced with small ones arefia? it is necessary to understand that we have a very specific region, it is an outpost of ukraine, and a lot of border forces of populated areas were constantly fired upon by the enemy, so a large part of the population emigrated to the middle of the region, and in fact it was very difficult to find people who... changed their place of residence, rented housing, and the main warehouse at the beginning for citizens whom we restore housing, it was to find shelter at first, but the torostyansk city council, people, public organizations helped people in the beginning, so that people find

a shelter for the moment while we carry out the restoration and repair of all the houses and what we have. is in our program. thank you for the clarification, for the conversation and most importantly, i thank you for your work. we were accompanied by ivan smaga, head of the service for reconstruction and development of infrastructure in the sumy region. we are adding to our conversation olena shulyak, people's deputy, chair of the parliamentary committee on the organization of state power, local self-government, regional development and urban planning. mrs. olena, congratulations. we are talking about rebuilding damaged or destroyed homes and facilities. infrastructure in different regions of ukraine. with you, we want to focus on how this process continues. here, how do you assess the progress of the reconstruction of our state? in ukraine, there are a number of small settlements, in particular on the border, which have been significantly destroyed by the enemy, where should the local authorities turn for reconstruction. good afternoon,

let's give some numbers, and first of all , it should be noted that the world bank, together with the ministry of reconstruction, has already three times. made an appropriate assessment of the damage caused russia as a result of a full-scale invasion. the last time such an estimate was presented was in february 2024 and took into account all data as of the end of 2023. according to these data, we need at least 486 million dollars for recovery. and the direct damage caused by russia as a result of the destruction damage is more than... than 150 billion dollars, the top three damage and destruction is the housing sector, it is the transport infrastructure, and it is of course, unfortunately, the infrastructure that works in the field of energy , and these data were recorded on

the end of the 23rd year, i repeat, and they do not take into account the latest damage, the destruction that russia caused in 2024, i think that the next assessment of the world ... bank it will include much larger, larger numbers there than this assessment, which took place directly in 23. if we talk about how it happens. we have three levels of reconstruction: the local level, the regional level, and the central level. there are such damaged objects that the relevant local authorities can work with, funds can be used from the local budget, but there are objects where the community cannot, the local self-government body cannot cope with such challenges, and here the military administration usually comes to help, and there are many. damage, for example, when several communities in the territory of the same region, it may

concern the same energy infrastructure or transport infrastructure, here the military administration is usually involved and helps the whole process, from planning such restoration or repair of the damaged to directly put into operation, well , there are facilities where the ministry of restoration, which works through its agent, is directly involved. restoration, the last such example, big, significant, do you remember when the kakhovskaya hessa was destroyed, it was necessary to start work on the creation of a new aqueduct very quickly, because more than 1 million people could be left without drinking water, then all the coordination is already here such a large object takes place directly, directly at the level of the ministry, of course this cooperation from... occurs both with the involvement of the military administration and with the involvement of the relevant communities, and only when all branches

of government work in harmony, it is possible to achieve a quick, fast and effective result, and of course it is necessary to issue such appeals, here is the head of the city, for example, the object that really needs the intervention of the regional military administration, possibly the ministry, has a real problem. how quickly and how simplified is the procedure for filing appeals? and i think that today there is appropriate coordination with military administrations, no, it does not work there in the form of a specific appeal, as far as i know, every head of the military administration, he is in contact with all the heads of communities, with the heads of cities, he, the entire military administration, it clearly records. and knows where the destruction is taking place and some can offer a quick way to solve

the problem. let's not forget that now the ministry of reconstruction has been working very closely with our international partners, with international partners and military administrations and the municipalities themselves worked directly. and today, if we are talking about large objects, it is possible to receive appropriate credit from large banks. an example such as the european investment bank or the development bank of the council of europe, this lending has a low interest rate and is given for a fairly long period. there are also many grant programs provided by our international partners, with international partners, i repeat, work at all levels, and depending on the size of such destruction or damages, international partners are involved in such reconstruction, and let's not forget also that at... at the local level there are direct contacts and direct relations with

sister cities, with the governments of other countries, with various benefactors who help to rebuild these or that objects for example, through the united 24 platform, i will remind you that this platform unites five areas, and one of these areas where funds are collected is precisely the question of reconstruction and... recovery on this platform for the 23rd year was collected more than uah 12 billion, and one of the successful projects, when money was collected on this platform, and then housing was restored, it is exactly 18 houses in the kyiv region, where new houses have already been almost built with the money of benefactors, the whole procedure of restoring such houses is carried out under the supervision of international institutions has an independent technical supervision, very transparent and

accountable processes for such a restoration, and this is also one of the few examples, there are a lot of different such data throughout the country, where, where it can be recorded, where they work directly philanthropists with projects related to reconstruction, here you mentioned a really big powerful water pipeline project that has been built and is already working. after the enemy destroyed the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, but if we talk about housing for ordinary ukrainians, how much the local authorities. it is possible to quickly solve this issue of reconstruction, maybe also, in addition to local problems, for example, which exist, intervention is also necessary, in particular from ministries, is it still possible to solve it on our own in the communities, you are right, it is not possible to solve it on our own in the communities , therefore, the ministry of reconstruction has launched

a large-scale state program, called recovery, as of... today, more than 65,000 ukrainian families have benefited from this program in terms of receiving targeted funds to repair damaged housing. i would like to remind our viewers that the maximum amount for damage in an apartment is uah 350,000, and for damage in a private house no more than uah 500. more than 800 ukrainian families have already been able to apply for this program. and housing certificates, and more than 300 ukrainian ones families have already been able to implement these housing certificates and get a new home. i will also remind you that for those people whose homes have been destroyed today and they issue a housing certificate, they independently choose a settlement for a new home , they choose independently and the type of their

future new housing here, the state does not in any way... interfere in such a choice only provides such mechanisms, provides earmarked money that can be used exclusively in order to repair housing, or buy, acquire a new apartment or other living space. in 2023, in order to implement this state program, a fund for liquidation of the consequences of the armed aggression of the russian federation was created, the first money for this fund came in the form of cash. seized money of russian banks that worked on the territory of ukraine, namely, the first 17 billion hryvnias came from sberbank, i believe that this is a very fair decision, when the money of the russian federation worked to restore the homes of those ukrainians who remained, unfortunately , without without a home, without blood, because

a full-scale invasion destroyed or damaged their housing, and of course this program continues to ... work, there are still many different stages that we expect the ministry of reconstruction to take them to, first of all, we have a huge request from those citizens who have destroyed housing in the temporarily occupied territories, such citizens are now forced to either have the status of internally displaced persons or are abroad, in order to support such citizens, of course, this program must be expanded necessarily and on them, and... every time the program of its restoration is improved, the digital mechanisms for submitting documents are also simplified, and here it is the state that plays such a central, main, key role, it provides local self-government bodies with digital algorithms and digital tools, namely the central the government also directly provides funds

, which are used to compensate for damaged and destroyed housing, and the local... government, local self-government bodies, they only carry out administration, are created relevant commissions at local self-government bodies, all these commissions already work directly with those residents who have damage or destruction, enter everything into the register of damaged and destroyed property, carry out all the relevant or accrual of targeted money, or already create the corresponding housing certificate, i believe , that in such a synergy, when both the local... government and the central government, which provides the appropriate resources and provides the appropriate algorithms, work, such processes take place much faster, and we already see that a result that concerns tens of thousands of families who have already been able to take advantage of such a state program. we see a really wide range of programs and requests from ukrainians, but what is the situation with workers in the field

of reconstruction, did the mobilization slow down the process of rebuilding our homeland? mobilization of course. touched on the construction industry, of course, many representatives from the construction sector are currently defending ukraine on the front lines, and of course it cannot be said that there are no problems in this issue, there are of course problems, but we understand that the defense of our of the state, it is currently the number one priority, both for the construction industry and for others. as well as for all representatives of ukrainian foreign business operating in ukraine, it is very important that the government provides clear, transparent, effective rules that apply to armor. and because we understand that there is a certain category of workers who must be booked, this is especially felt now, when

representatives of those organizations that work, for example, in the same energy sector, and whose work must be booked today it depends on how quickly the energy infrastructure is restored, there are many such examples, so in parallel with mobilization, of course... there should be a fair, clear reservation that would not give the opportunity to slow down certain processes that are associated with the repair of those damages and the destruction that russia is unfortunately causing us. well, ms. elena, we are already deeply delving into such an economic component of the problem, but where are materials for reconstruction purchased, is our state capable of producing everything necessary for restoration of the country, and thus it is new jobs, it is taxes, it is... business development, there is good news, more than 90% of the construction materials used in the reconstruction ukraine is able to produce on its

construction sites here on the territory of ukraine, and indeed, if you look at how many jobs the construction industry can save by producing the necessary building materials for recovery, this figure is impressive, it is more than 150 thousand. ukrainians will be able to work at such enterprises, today there are a number of studies that confirm this that there are building materials that will be in short supply, well of course the number one building material in short supply is glass, even before the full scale invasion in ukraine there was not a single factory that produced glass that was used directly to build various different buildings, and then... that is why it is extremely necessary for ukraine today to create and create all the conditions for investors to come and build glass factories, because

importing glass is always more expensive than producing it here in ukraine, especially since we we see a huge need, and it is also predicted that there will be a shortage of cement, concrete, and mineral wool, including some types of insulation. and therefore the ministry of economy needs to work with this information, it is necessary to work with our international partners, with investors, with ukrainian business, with foreign business that is considering ukraine for investment in order to create the appropriate conditions so that the production of our ukrainian building materials develops here , which will be used directly in the reconstruction, and of course the added value, of course all taxes, of course with... wages that will be received by ukrainian workers, all this will work in a positive way and in the development of our ukrainian economy. i am sure that it will happen, there will be investments, there will be new

enterprises. thanks for the conversation. it was olena shulyak, people's deputy, head of the parliamentary committee on the organization of state power, local self-government, regional development and urban planning. thank you for watching the special edition of the urban reconstruction and development program. conducted it oleksandr morchivka. see you next saturday at 6pm. now i have a toothpaste that does more. lacaluut aktiv+ with plus active ingredients. i use it for gum problems and bad breath. lacalot active plus with two-phase technology, actively overcomes bleeding gums and gives fresh breath. - an action that you feel immediately. in the latest issue of the magazine krania, about the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of ukraine. how

we pass the heating season. we will talk about this in detail with the guest of the studio. stanislav ignatiev, chairman of the council of the ukrainian association renewable energy, visited us. glad to see. greetings, nice to see you. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. mr. stanislav, i will start with the last statement of the minister of energy. he was in the verkhovna rada, during the hour of questions to the government, he said that hundreds of megawatts of the planned gigawatt of gas shunting generation have already been built this year, that is, a significant share, and if... everything goes well with our power system, the enemy will not attack the critical infrastructure, then we will pass the winter successfully, in your opinion, or really can this gigawatt of generation save ukraine from total darkness and total frost? well, first of all, what is currently being built, local government bodies are being built in large cities, such as, for example, my native kharkiv, gas piston installations are being installed

for... critical infrastructure facilities, primarily these are heat networks and water canals, so that even in the absence of a centralized energy supply, electricity supply, to provide coolant and drinking water to citizens during periods of possible blackouts, and here are the scenarios a lot, as for what the president wanted at the ukraine recovery conference in berlin, it was to build, especially in those cities where the heating network was destroyed, for example, kherson, mykolaiv, the same kharkiv, de-occupied cities such as irpin, bucha , akhtyrka and trostyanets in the sumy region, then build such gas piston or gas turbine plants in the thermal regions instead of centralized power supply in order to have distributed

power generation for many. multi-story residential buildings, b) in order to have heat carrier, since we understand that either the turbine rotates, or how a gas-piston engine works in a car engine, there are combustion products, there is thermal energy that can heat the heat carrier, roughly speaking, water or any liquid and supply it to a multi-apartment building, unfortunately, such projects have not been implemented now, and for the future, since... we understand that the enemy will, of course, attack our energy system before our victory or any other scenario positive for ukraine, so we will to have a shortage of electricity even after the end of the war, not for one year, but maybe for three to five years, so we have to understand that not 1 comb, we need at least 6 gw of construction capacity, primarily for large cities.
