Temporary housing to be built for displaced persons - Zelensky

Temporary housing will be built for people who have fled the war zones.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in his latest video address to the nation, Ukrinform reports.

“Regional administrations have been given a clear task to quickly allocate land for the construction of temporary housing for displaced persons. I want to emphasize once again - this is temporary housing. Once we establish peace, we will begin the immediate, large-scale reconstruction of our state. But now people need a temporary home. Their home. And it is better to have a home in Ukraine than somewhere abroad,” Zelensky said.
