Ukraine’s logistics infrastructure is on the verge of collapse: 25% of bridges are in critical condition.

According to the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, 24% of Ukrainian bridges are completely or partially unusable. The main issues a specialized commission had to resolve are the condition of Ukrainian bridges and to identify the necessary solutions to mitigate all possible risk.

“Unfortunately, more than a third of the responsible parties do not have accurate information about the state of their bridges, and a quarter of all structures in the country are in a critical state,” Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction Oleksandr Kubrakov said.

Based on the results of the commission’s work, specific proposals have already been formulated to legislate the priority allocation of funds for the emergency reconstruction or repair of critical bridges.

It is also worth noting that the poor condition of the bridges is caused not only by a lack of funding during wartime but also by constant Russian terrorist attacks, including on logistical infrastructure.
