President Poroshenko: Ukraine to restore Donbas infrastructure with help of international partners

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stressed that once occupied Donbas is returned to the sovereignty of the Ukrainian state, its infrastructure will be restored, including with the help of international partners.

The President said this in Sloviansk on Tuesday on the occasion of the second anniversary of liberation of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“People in the occupied areas must know that Ukraine will restore full funding of their cities, districts and villages and rebuild everything ruined by the Russian aggression as soon as they return under the Ukrainian sovereignty. The only reason that hinders the restoration of peace and normal life is invaders. However, we will do everything to return peace to the occupied territories of Donbas,” Petro Poroshenko emphasized.

He recalled that 420 social facilities had been restored only in towns of Sloviansk, Mykolayivka and Semenivka, Donetsk region, since August 2014. 190 facilities have been restored in Kramatorsk.
