"This is part of our strategy implementation: to connect all oblast centres of Ukraine in five years. I emphasise: Ukrainians have the right to ride and will eventually ride along good roads,” said Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman.

In total, this year the state has allocated nearly UAH 488 million to renovate 47.7 km of roads in the Kirovohrad Oblast.

The task set by the Government is to connect all oblast centres with high-quality roads in five years.
