"All the money that was planned for the Great Construction program for this year, with the start of the war with Russia, was distributed for the military needs of the Ministry of Defense," he said on the Rada TV channel on Wednesday.

Holyk also said that there are separate disaster recovery programs for the affected regions of Ukraine, the government has allocated about UAH 200 million from the reserve fund for Chernihiv region, UAH 200 million for Sumy region, and UAH 400 million for Kyiv region.
