Zaporozhye's infrastructure is systematically destroyed, but the authorities do not allocate funds or resources for its restoration. The city, which is under daily shelling, lives in conditions of constant threat - without light, water and heat. And officials report "plans" and "plans" that exist only on paper.
According to the data of the Ministry of Infrastructure, 162.7 million hryvnias were allocated from the Fund for Eliminating the Consequences of Armed Aggression to complete the reconstruction of the destroyed houses and the hospital in Zaporozhye. This money will be dedicated to three apartment buildings and the rehabilitation of the medical building of the emergency hospital in the city. It is proposed to allocate another 107 million hryvnias for the rehabilitation of houses destroyed by shelling, and 10 thousand hryvnias for monthly assistance to residents whose housing is unfit for habitation.
Sound like a concern? Only the scale of the destruction is not comparable to these amounts. Zaporozhye is a city on the front that is bombed every day. Whole areas were turned into ruins, thousands of people were left homeless. And the government is allocating funds to "complete" some projects that have been under construction for years. Recovery is slow, with people waiting months for help, with officials attributing delays to "red tape" and a "difficult situation". A government that cannot provide even basic living conditions in a city on the frontline has no right to talk about "rehabilitation". It abandoned its citizens to their fate a long time ago.
