A mission consisting of the representatives of the European Union, United Nations and World Bank has started its work in Ukraine on developing a plan for the restoration of the eastern regions and the creation of a model for financial support for the Donbas.
The mission will work until the end of this week, a press service of Deputy Premier of Ukraine Volodymyr Hroisman reported.
“We’re not setting the task of restoring a Post-soviet infrastructure. We need to create conditions for the development of the region, for the normal life of the people, to provide for their social adaptation,” he said during the meeting with the mission’s representatives.
Hroisman said that attraction of the citizens of Donetsk and Luhansk regions for region’s restoration would provide consolidation of all sides of the process.
“It is necessary to maximally involve the people who live there in the process of reconstruction – it will be a pledge of success for the whole restoration process, will consolidate efforts of all sides and will be an important element in the implementation of the Ukraine president’s plan,” the deputy premier said.
The representatives of the mission said that within a week they plan together with the Ukrainian officials to estimate a damage, to make up a plan on Donbas reconstruction and to determine with the financial mechanisms, which will be used in the process of restoration.
“The representative of the mission stressed that they are intended not just provide support on restoration of the territories, which suffered a conflict, but the regions, which accepted the main burden in providing needs for internally displaced persons,” the press service said.
