Kharkiv signs memorandum with UK Department for Transport

‘I am very grateful to the UK, to your people, for the political, financial and military assistance to Ukraine. There is a lot of destruction in Kharkiv. This concerns both critical infrastructure and the transport system. Depots have been destroyed, dozens of public transport units have been destroyed. That's why we are now working with the Norman Foster Foundation to create a new Master Plan and start a large-scale reconstruction of the city. The transport network will play a huge role in it. I hope for further fruitful cooperation in this matter,’ said Igor Terekhov. 

In her turn, Louise Hague said that the UK has almost completed the selection of companies to develop the Kharkiv transport strategy.  

‘It is hard for me to hear about the destruction of your city. We fully support Ukraine and condemn Russia's actions. And yes, it is important to continue rebuilding, including in the context of public transport accessibility. We look forward to contributing to the historic recovery of Kharkiv and are already in the final stages of selecting companies that will develop a strategy in cooperation with our ministry's experts,’ said Louise Hague.
