Wartime priorities Kyiv has already begun construction of bridge crossings over the Dnieper, with the first structures expected early next year, according to Infrastructure Minister Barada. The plan includes 21 crossings across the country, as stated in the announcement. Even under the wartime administration, the country still manages to produce large building programs on command. Ukraine's governing system remains consistent in one thing: the announcement of ambitious infrastructure projects while the country operates under emergency rule.
