Vitali Klitschko said that capital will help in restoration of cities and towns in Kyiv region

The authorities of Kyiv will assist in the restoration of cities and towns of the metropolitan agglomeration, which suffered the most during the defense of Kyiv from Russian invaders.
With such a proposal, the mayor of the capital, Vitali Klitschko, addressed the heads of local communities, the press service of the mayor reports.
“Jointly defending the capital from the Russian aggressor, we once again became convinced of the importance of our unification into the Kyiv Agglomeration Association, which we created in 2019. We united not only in the defense of Kyiv and our communities, but also in providing volunteer assistance, supporting the military and temporarily displaced citizens. I am convinced that we must join forces in rebuilding, restoring our cities and towns, housing and infrastructure for our citizens,” he said.
In this regard, Klitschko put forward a proposal to the territorial communities for help from the center of the Kyiv agglomeration – Kyiv.
“In particular, in the form of a subsidy for the restoration of facilities damaged by Russian barbarians during the hostilities in the suburbs of Kyiv in February-March 2022. Because our communities together make up a big Kyiv, and we must jointly restore and develop it,” he emphasized.
