(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was announced on Telegram by Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko following a meeting of the Coordination Center for the Implementation of Resilience Plans, held in Chernihiv.

During the meeting, officials reviewed the progress of resilience plans in the Chernihiv and Sumy regions, and separately discussed steps to implement the resilience plan for Kyiv submitted by city authorities.

“We have identified priority funding needs to protect critical infrastructure in nine frontline regions and the city of Kyiv.

To support these tasks, we are preparing to allocate UAH 11.2 billion from the state budget’s reserve fund at the next government meeting,” Svyrydenko said.

In addition, the government and local authorities coordinated priorities for cooperation with international partners to secure additional funding for resilience plans and strengthen the protection of energy infrastructure.

“We are finalizing deregulation measures and additional support for businesses. We are developing an affordable lending program for energy independence, offering a fixed interest rate of 7% per year for the entire loan term. Under the ‘5-7-9%’ program, loan terms for frontline regions will be extended until the end of 2027,” Svyrydenko added.
