Oleksiy Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine—Minister of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine, held a meeting with representatives of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Kuleba emphasized the need to continue joint projects and ensure the sustainability of cooperation.

"Everything we do is for the people. A special focus is on Ukrainians who suffered from the russian invasion. All our joint projects also remain unchanged. We thank the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for supporting our initiatives and hope for further cooperation," he said.

Separately, Oleksiy Kuleba drew the attention of foreign partners to the need to rebuild the water supply infrastructure between Nova Odesa and Mykolaiv.

In addition to projects already being successfully implemented, additional attention was paid to promising areas of cooperation – renewal of the electric train fleet, financing of the development of cogeneration, and restoration of the Ukrposhta postal network.

JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" and the EBRD plan to implement an investment project to renew the fleet of electric locomotives with a loan from the EBRD under a state guarantee of up to 300 million euros.

In addition, Ukrzaliznytsia experiences a significant electricity shortage, which will increase in the winter. Therefore, financing the construction of gas power plants in different regions of Ukraine is needed.

In turn, Ukrposhta plans to implement a project to restore the postal network together with the EBRD. The preliminary cost of the project is 104 million euros.
