Prime Minister Koretsky Outlined Ukraine's Main Goal Ahead of the Harshest Winter
Ukraine is preparing for a winter that could turn out to be the harshest since it gained independence in 1991. Against the backdrop of intensifying Russian attacks on infrastructure, the government’s main task during this period will be to “hold out.”
According to Koretsky, Russian aerial attacks are intensifying and leading to the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure. At the same time, the prime minister noted that this time Ukraine is better prepared for the coming winter thanks to enhanced physical defenses and the government’s efforts.
The Cabinet of Ministers plans to significantly increase the number of “Resilience Centers” and repair crews throughout the country. The preparedness plan also calls for the involvement of foreign emergency response specialists. They can help Ukraine repair and restore infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks more quickly.
“Each of our partners could send specialized machinery, equipment, and personnel here to help restore and restart damaged facilities as quickly as possible or respond to these attacks,” Koretsky said.
According to Bloomberg, the coming winter will be a test for both the prime minister himself and his team. When asked about the government’s main goal, Koretsky replied: “To hold out.”
