Infrastructure Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Omelian said this at the briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"We plan to spend a new tranche of UAH 400 million, received by the Ministry, on qualitatively new measures, namely road safety, in 2018. The European Union will provide these funds to reduce the traffic-related death rate," the minister said.
