In a great war, under conditions of closed airports and limited operation of seaports, roads are our stable logistics, including military logistics. (...) We cannot allow them to become a weak link in our defense and economy.

Moreover, it is planned to attract additional funds for energy efficiency from the European Commission and the German government. It is also planned to finance the Fund for the Elimination of the Consequences of Armed Aggression from confiscated Russian assets and sanctions for the restoration of critical networks and compensation for destroyed housing.

The state budget for community development for the next year anticipates significant investments in infrastructure, transport networks, housing, and energy efficiency. This will contribute to improving the living conditions of citizens, ensuring stable defense capabilities, and developing the country's economy.
