Key Projects for Regional Recovery
Among the priority initiatives that will receive funding is the construction of a new plant in Kremenchuk (Poltava region). The facility will specialize in the production of fasteners for transitioning to European gauge tracks, as well as contact wires, which will expand the electrification of railway lines and enhance the efficiency of the transport system.
In Vinnytsia and Sumy regions, the construction of modular homes for internally displaced persons is planned. Such solutions will allow for the rapid provision of housing for those who have lost their homes due to hostilities. Additionally, in Kharkiv and other frontline regions, windows in damaged houses will be replaced to restore safety and comfort for residents.
Project Launch and Further Cooperation
All mentioned initiatives have already been included in the Unified Project Portfolio, ensuring a prompt start to their implementation. Preparations for the rollout are currently ongoing, with the main works scheduled to begin in October 2025. Ukraine and Switzerland are also exploring prospects for further partnership focused on the development of the transport sector and infrastructure modernization.
