During a working trip to the Mykolayiv region, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy inspected the section of the road Mykolayiv – Kropyvnytskyi. Acting Head of the Highways Service in the Mykolaiv region Andriy Maksymenko said that in order to complete the repair of this highway they need UAH 1.5 billion. In addition, there is a need to rapair Road H24.

“Can we build these roads by the end of next year? We spoke yesterday with the Federal Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, and there is EUR150 million of credit funds,” the President said.

At the same time, there were problems with abuse during tenders. Head of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine Yuriy Lytvyn said: “We fix systematic abuse by both customers and participants in tender procedures. Currently, we are considering 1,100 procedures in Ukraine for a total of UAH 86 billion, with signs of abuse. Every third procedure has signs of abuse. As for Mykolayiv, it is about 20 cases with signs of abuse, in particular, with regard to this part of the road, where “Rosdorstroy” and “Altkom” participated. These two companies go in pairs for all tenders.

According to him, tender conditions are prescribed in such a way as to win the “necessary” contractor. In addition, a Belarusian enterprise, which also planned to participate in the tender, was burned down in the region. Law enforcers suspect competitors. An investigation is under way.

The President stressed the inadmissibility of such a situation and ordered to remove unscrupulous contractors and streamline tender conditions.

“Conduct a meeting on Friday for all roads. We should know the condition of this roads, where do we have public money, where we need to raise credit funds. And list the roads that need to be done first. Find the solution,” the President said.

Also the problem of cargo transportation should be solved.
