"This year, we have invested UAH 30 billion in the repair and reconstruction of roads in Ukraine. Next year, [we will invest] UAH 48 billion. UAH 4 billion will be allocated for the modernization of the roads Lviv-Ternopil-Khmelnytsky-Vinnytsia-Uman-Odesa-Mykolayiv-Kherson and Kyiv-Kharkiv-Dovzhansky.
