we will talk with you in more detail about reconstruction. with since the start of the full-scale invasion , 27 bridges and overpasses have been destroyed or damaged in kharkiv oblast, which is actually the vascular system of logistics for the entire region. 2022 was the year of fighting for the kharkiv region. the invaders captured half of the region. the defense forces of ukraine managed to knock them out quite quickly, but in the constant military maneuvers, all the key logistical routes were destroyed, primarily bridges. the transport network was completely paralyzed, this is how the bridges looked after the kharkiv counteroffensive, the damage was estimated at uah 8 billion. during the destruction by shelling of the russian federation winfent was completely destroyed. remains of concrete and truss structures.

that were, they flew even up to 50 m. this bridge was destroyed by the russians with targeted missile strikes, today it is almost completely rebuilt, it was completely restored, that is, the driven piles were driven in, the foundations were completely driven, new supports, grids of the rack, beams and coverings, it is completely with zero was made. in the infrastructure restoration and development service, they emphasize that rebuilding bridges is not a luxury, but a necessity. some of them have a key significance not only for civil, but also for military logistics. the specified object is located on the highway m03, kyiv-kharkiv-dovzhanskyi, which combines many regions, it is the main artery of road management, one of the most important arteries of road management, humanitarian corridors and others, which are currently very important for ukraine. not only restore bridges. difficult, but also dangerous, especially in

the areas of hostilities, in particular, this bridge was mined, and now rockets are flying past it, the whole area was named before at the beginning of... the works, we had to wait until they were demining, well, there was no shelling of the precinct itself, thank god, but there were, well, rockets flew overhead, there were many times in our place, when we were working on objects, that they were hit either in close proximity, or into the artificial structure itself, where people, road workers, road workers, construction workers worked, because of this work was suspended at some objects for a while, at some it is completely suspended at the moment, precisely because of the sun. of repeated shelling in the service cannot publicly name which bridges already restored, and which are being completed. it was completely gutted and we've been rebuilding it from the ground up, the overpass is 100% done, it's ready,

the approaches to the overpass are now being set up, the asphalting as you can see, and the underlayment . now we are at one object, which is already in the final stages, that is... 97% of the specified artificial structure is already there, the rest, so to speak, in my own words, the marafet, as we call it, is some work of the final stage, and this is one of of three bridges in the region, which have been completely repaired and put into operation. currently , 17 bridges are in operation, 10 of them are promised to be commissioned by the end of this year. artem lagutenko, oscar... janson from espresso tv channel. so, i will remind you that you are watching a special edition of the program of reconstruction and development of cities, and today the guest of our special edition is tetyana melnyk, she is an expert on reconstruction, an expert on the restoration of municipal infrastructure of the association of cities of ukraine. mrs.

tetyana, once again welcome to our air. actually, there was a plot of my colleague about the reconstruction of objects in the kharkiv region, as he told. head of the kharkiv regional military administration , oleg senigubov: in kharkiv oblast, there are only 30,000 infrastructure facilities that actually need such reconstruction, restoration, this is a crazy figure, within the framework of the whole of ukraine, do you know about the numbers, how many infrastructure facilities there are and how many more housing stock of some private households need restoration. yes. damages in the field of transport infrastructure are very significant and they rank among all damages that have been caused ukraine, due to the armed aggression of the russian federation, is in second place, this is about 20%

of all direct losses, and according to the assessment, which was made at the end of 2023 , it is close. in the united states, in the first place in terms of damage, in terms of infrastructure destruction, is housing itself, residential infrastructure, and these are very significant losses, and they make up about 40 percent, almost 40% of the total, but we are currently operating with data from the end of 2023 , when there was done, a quick damage assessment was prepared. caused by armed aggression rdna 3 is such a report that is prepared jointly by the world bank, the un, the government of ukraine and the european commission, and such a report is just for the end of the 23rd year, we are waiting for updated data, and in general, as regards

social infrastructure in territorial communities, then a very significant number of educational institutions were also damaged, this is 3800. these institutions were damaged, there are also destroyed objects, and such losses amount to about 5%, but today we understand that during 2024, during these more than eight months , new destructions occurred and as residential, yes and a lot of energy infrastructure, which will also add to the volume and possibly change the proportions somewhere. of these losses, probably in relation to housing, i also wanted to say that in relation to housing, such amounts reach more than, if translated into hryvnias, more than 3 trillion hryvnias, this is a very large amount of losses and

the need to restore not only direct losses, but and the needs for the restoration of such buildings have been calculated, who is responsible for the restoration of infrastructure facilities, or not? responsibility for restoration of residential buildings? today there are various programs, different mechanisms for recovery, of course, that the bodies work locally. self-government works, the state works, international partners, international organizations, many foreign countries, european countries help directly to communities, for example, the baltic countries, estonia, latvia, lithuania, they provide help to the de-occupied communities of kyiv region, buchi, in particular, in addition, we know a lot about the fruitful, close cooperation of denmark with the mykolaiv city territorial community and in general with... the mykolaiv region, this is such a long-term program aimed, if we

before, at the beginning, it was directed to the provision of humanitarian aid, items such as equipment, basic necessities, now programs are being prepared for longer-term support of the city in its recovery and development, in the planning of these recovery and development, does it make sense... to rebuild all objects, if we talk about infrastructure objects that were destroyed as a result of russian attacks, perhaps there are such objects that are already morally obsolete, and if they are to be restored, then in fact they should be built from scratch according to some new principles, taking into account the latest technologies, er, to answer this question, you need to understand how our recovery planning system is built today, as of today... our legislation already provides for several different documents that, in particular, local

self-government bodies must develop in order to plan of its recovery, just study those needs, analyze what needs to be restored, what does not need to be restored, what are the higher priority projects that can be implemented a little later, but today the legislation contains such a number... not that contradictions, but issues that need to be agreed upon in order to establish and make the recovery process more effective, because there are several different documents, both the recovery plan and the recovery program, which are provided for by legislation, communities also develop development strategies, other sectoral documents, which relate to the development of various areas at the local level or the solution of certain ones. issues, in addition, lasted for a very long time, but today we can

say that the state regional development strategy has already been updated, in which the the main challenges, which, including those caused by armed aggression, and relying on such challenges, relying on such a strategic document, already adopted in an updated version in august, communities can plan more carefully, more... uh, understanding what challenges at the national level stand for recovery, can take into account in their development strategies, as well as the goals set in the state strategy. another problematic issue is that there is no separate clearly defined source of funding for these planning documents. plan there is recovery, but there is no clear source of funding for it. of course, local self-government bodies. from their local budgets, approve the programs, carry out financing for urgent needs,

including the provision of housing, for the reconstruction of some houses, if these budgets are capable and have such funds, therefore , the issue of local budgets being capable is extremely important and urgent and in the future and next year, and this is relevant today, because the budget process is ongoing and the association of cities of ukraine advocates such important issues related to the filling of local budgets and in relation to pdpo and in relation to other sources of income. well, as we know, the communities say that they often do not have enough money for reconstruction, and then they do not refuse any offers from other countries to join, as, for example, in lviv, when there was a rocket attack, when it was... for several houses and the minister, the prime minister of poland, donald tusk , offered his help, but he offered

to help with the reconstruction, he said that they will choose some houses that they will rebuild, it is clear that the rest of the buildings will be the responsibility of the city budget, and these are large amounts, these are very significant amounts, and of course there are state programs that are planned in the state budget for 2025, but these volumes... they sound like very significant , that's up to a billion hryvnias for the coupe and home programs, which provide for the restoration of damaged and destroyed housing. specifically for residential objects, but if we are talking about the need for more than 3 trillion, then this is as of the end of the 23rd year, we understand that such losses have increased significantly over current year, we understand that these funds will also be very insufficient, other sources and other resources are also needed. how

is it determined which object should be rebuilt first, whether to tackle the bridge or the road. or for a school, this is exactly what the plan for the recovery of the territorial community should respond to, as the document on which it should be based, in addition, of course, there are some sectoral priorities at the level of the ministries, where they determine for themselves which objects are more important, but first of all, a plan for the restoration of the territorial community must be drawn up, where it must be determined... exactly the priority of such objects and that in the first place there should be restoration, but also territorial communities are still waiting for approval at the central level of the list of restoration territories, because there were criteria for determining such territories were approved in the 23rd year, then these criteria underwent some changes, and

now we are still waiting for the list of the restoration area to be official. approved at the level of a government decision, and the speed of development of recovery plans also depends on this, uh, challenges - that's exactly it these plans, yes, money, but not only that, because we have, as we saw in the plot, and what the builders say, we are starting the recovery process, and again somewhere can fly nearby, and this is also a challenge, and, in addition, mostly on the object. men work on reconstruction, because it is hard work, and men are primarily needed at the front, what challenges do cities and the country face in the process of reconstruction? in general, such challenges are mostly associated with the armed aggression itself with

the destruction of infrastructure, but not exclusively, because the infrastructure is inappropriate. there was a tour before the armed aggression, i mean outdated equipment, outdated production, somewhere non -inclusive infrastructure in some institutions, it also needs updating, needs special approaches, in addition, today there are certain new regulations, new requirements for various infrastructure facilities , and this must be taken into account during reconstruction, other challenges are... of course those and the damage caused to nature, caused to the nature reserve fund, destroyed burnt forests, which increased very much emissions of greenhouse gases, we have a very strong impact on the ecology due to armed aggression, very significant challenges also concern the migration

of the population, internal displacement and departure of our citizens abroad. we understand that communities will recover when there is a population in these communities, not when, but in the event that the population can return, and these should be interconnected processes, therefore we also expect the adoption at the state level of a state demographic strategy that will determine some tasks, events, what will happen implemented in order to return citizens to communities, maybe there will be some... community support programs in the field of supporting people, we also have very significant educational losses, due to the fact that students have been learning remotely for a very long time, the quality of education has decreased, many does not have the opportunity to study at all, the subvention that was provided

for the arrangement of shelters in educational institutions, it was in 20'. in the second year, she was in the 23rd year and in the 24th and 25th year, unfortunately, for arranging shelters in institutions funds are not provided for education, but there is still a need, there is still a need in educational institutions in order to create safe conditions for students there, these are the challenges you need to state policy, i also wanted to ask you about... roads and bridges, because sometimes people say where and what roads are not in time, there would be a roof over my head, but is it in time, how much is in time, and why is it, why is it still important. first of all, the road provides an opportunity to provide humanitarian aid, to provide some kind of urgent support, in some cases it is

the evacuation of the population, because we understand that there such front-line communities, which are very close to the front line, and it is necessary to be able to evacuate citizens, of course, this is the organization and provision of defense. of those settlements that are nearby, very close to the front line, what is the number of these damaged road bridges that need to be restored now? and this is in general about 20%, more than 20% of all the losses that there are, and it is about 37 billion us dollars, as of... the end of the 23rd year, so according to this rapid assessment prepared jointly by international institutions and the government of ukraine , which were made at the end of the 23rd year, it is with

such data that we operate new ones, until now we do not have them. approximately how much time, is there already some understanding, is needed in order to restore all, all roads and all bridges, unfortunately, this is definitely not possible. because it depends on many factors and on the amount of funding, on how quickly these funds will be provided, how efficiently all the procedures will be carried out, how much labor will be available for construction, but as you have already mentioned, there are certain problems with that a lot of workers and materials are needed, all this must also be organized. and find such resources, not only financial, but also human, material and technical, and others. mrs. tetyana, thank you for the conversation,

thank you for these figures and for explaining where and what challenges we are facing in the process of rebuilding the country. tetyana melnyk, an expert on the restoration of municipal infrastructure of the association of cities of ukraine , was our guest today, i would like to remind you that you watched the special edition of the trozk reconstruction program. bridge, thank you for being with us, my name is lesya vokulyuk, and i will see you next saturday at 18:30, stay tuned to the espresso tv channel. remember, the great construction project, the same one that many called the great theft, so here it is coming back. in the draft budget for the 25th year , it was laid down. as much as uah 17 billion, uah 11 billion directly from the budget and another six as subventions to local budgets. at the same time, according to the document, in the 25th year they want to

significantly reduce the social, humanitarian and cultural spheres, but these are not all harmful initiatives. subscribe to my channel to know more in the past year, all the money from the road fund, which is 95 billion, went to defense. well, in general it was right, we fought for it. so why now suddenly road construction has become a priority again? interestingly, the subvention to the communities for the acquisition of schools was cancelled, but the roads were left. this is a very vivid illustration of the authorities' priorities, they don't care that there is a lack of money, they don't care that there is a lack of indexation of teachers' salaries, they are not interested that there are no funds to provide schools with shelters and generators, they do not care that due to closed schools and kindergartens in many regions and destroyed... thousands more children will be taken abroad for online education this winter, and called on the government to come to its senses, because with such an approach to demographic problems, we will lose our future, so

roads are important to the authorities, and not ukrainians. the total amount of new large-scale construction will amount to over uah 17 billion. well, it is certainly not 180 billion, as it was in the 21st year before the invasion, it is only 10% of this amount. but can we afford such luxury in the conditions. when at the ministry 1,750,000 are taken from veterans, 67 million from the ministry of education. they are taken from the ministry of social policy in general, that is, they do not receive an astronomical amount, 429 million uah. due to the lack of money for the defense industry, changes to the budget for this year, on the 24th, had to be adopted. they foresee an additional almost 500 billion for financing the security and defense sector, because without them there would be no money even for salaries from october 1. but why did it happen that the government did not plan this money, and we had to look for it as an emergency? prime minister schmigel said frankly, because they hoped for

the end of the war in the summer. in 24, strangely enough, the resumption of road construction in 25 must also mean that the government had planned an end to the war. we have already paid a terrible price for such an irresponsible attitude towards state affairs. we all remember how, before the russian invasion , the opposition literally begged the government to allocate an additional 50 billion for the army. and what did they answer us? and why will we build roads? - the authorities said then. in the 21st year, the budget is big. construction amounted to uah 178 billion, which was 40% more than financing army, which amounted to 128 billion. i'm not talking about the corruption scandals that accompanied the construction of roads all these years, and they still haven't ended. on september 12, nabusap reported the suspicion to the former head of the dnipropetrovsk regional state administration and four other persons. they abused on a large construction site. by the way, after the beginning of the russian invasion, these

schemes did not disappear anywhere. in the summer of this year , the state audit service stopped the construction of roads in the donetsk region, which was supposed to take place in the war zone, in the amount of uah 390 million. if there were such cases before individually, and because of the publicity they managed to stop them, then after the adoption of the budget for 17 billion hryvnias, the abuses will again become massive. we must do everything to knock down this corrupt article in the draft budget before the second reading. not sure it will work. tingling, numbness bothers you. the dolgit antineuro complex helps to normalize the functioning of the nervous system. capsules dolgit antineuro - help to your nervous system. in september, there are discounts on nephrobam, 10% in psyllanyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. in the hands of a specialist, the belladonna medicinal plant is like this
