As reported by Oleksii Kuleba’s Telegram channel
The government has approved a series of administrative decisions to boost the resilience of Odesa, including allocating 100 million hryvnias to support the city’s critical infrastructure.
Oleksiy Kuleba, the Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine and Minister of Development of Communities and Territories, said in a Telegram post, according to Ukrinform.
“Residents of the city expect effective governance decisions. First and foremost – to get through the heating season under constant drone and missile attacks. To support Odesa, the government is directing 100 million hryvnias to support the city’s critical infrastructure,” the statement says.

Kuleba noted that, together with local authorities, comprehensive measures for the reconstruction of Odesa’s sewer system are also being developed.
Special attention – compensation for damaged or destroyed housing. Currently, 1,300 families in the city have received payments and certificates under the “eRecovery” program. Under the personal supervision of the head of the Ministry of Recovery, the issue of providing compensation for destroyed housing located in architectural monuments will be monitored.
Work on protecting ports, supporting logistics, and ensuring stability of the maritime corridor continues. Kuleba noted that the ports continue to handle loading and unloading under ongoing attacks on infrastructure. Already, nearly 155 million tonnes of cargo have moved through the maritime corridor, of which 92 million tonnes are grain.
Additional steps and funding
As reported, the government approved a decree allowing the distribution and use of the second tranche of financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB) amounting to 100 million euros for recovery needs in communities.
All of this together should strengthen the city’s reconstruction, preserve its vital and logistical capacity, and ensure stability in the housing and infrastructure sectors even during extended crises.
