The experience of the war with Russia has confirmed that new residential buildings in cities should be designed with secure parking lots, as is done in Israel, Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov said on his Facebook page, talking about his visit to Kharkiv.
In Kharkiv region, the head of the department held a series of meetings, the focus of which, according to him, was the restoration of sustainable logistics for business and the rebuilding of destroyed housing.
“We have a task from the President of Ukraine to build new infrastructure, restore cities and towns, so we are already working in this direction. I remember that more than a month ago I was in Kharkiv and promised Kharkiv residents and mayor of the city Ihor Terekhov to build a new interchange in the city. We will definitely do it,” Kubrakov said.
In Kharkiv, according to the minister, nearly 1,300 multi-storey residential buildings, 70 schools, 54 kindergartens, and 16 hospitals were destroyed. Other cities in the war zone suffered a similar scale of destruction.
“We will have the opportunity to rethink and restart the life of the affected cities. The experience of the war confirms that the design of new houses should already take place with a fortified underground parking (similar to how they do it in Israel), using energy-saving technologies. In particular, the projects ‘Great Construction’ and ‘Energy Independence’ are all about well-thought-out solutions for the development of a modern protected Ukraine,” Kubrakov said.
The Minister also said that the Ministry of Infrastructure collects data on all losses, and Russia will definitely pay for the restoration of our country.
The Minister discussed the restoration of social and transport infrastructure in Kharkiv region with head of the Kharkiv regional military administration Oleh Synehubov.
According to Kubrakov, they have already established systemic logistics for the supply of humanitarian aid in the region. Next in line is the restructuring of supply chains for business.
Rebuilding logistics chains, as the minister explained, is due to the blocking of seaports by the enemy. But solutions are being found in all regions, business continues to operate, and the state is developing all possible options for compensation and reducing the tax and bureaucratic burden on entrepreneurs.
The minister also drew attention to the fact that Kharkiv, even under enemy shelling, remains cleaner and tidier than most of the peaceful cities of Ukraine.
