Turkey to help in Ukraine's reconstruction: 1st project may be bridge connecting Bucha, Irpin with Kyiv

This was announced on the president's website.

The memorandum was signed in the presence of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. 

It is assumed that Turkish companies will be able to develop specific projects, as well as provide consulting and technical assistance. As the first project, the reconstruction of the bridge in the village of Romanivka, Kyiv region, which connects Bucha and Irpin with Kyiv, is being considered. It is noted that it was destroyed at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, and in fact this stopped the aggressor's attack on the Ukrainian capital.

"Turkey is our strategic ally. We are grateful to our Turkish partners for their willingness to cooperate in the reconstruction of the infrastructure destroyed by Russia. Turkish business has extensive experience in the construction of roads and bridges, in particular the Zaporizhzhia and Kremenchuk bridges, and has proven itself as a reliable partner. Therefore, we expect that very soon we will come to the concrete practical results of the joint reconstruction", Oleksandr Kubrakov said.

The Office of the Ukrainian President informed that in the near future a joint Ukrainian-Turkish working group on reconstruction issues will be created, within which the mechanisms of attracting Turkish investments in specific projects will be worked out.
