The government has amended the co-financing mechanism for measures outlined in the comprehensive sustainability plans for regions and individual cities—for frontline regions, this will amount to 10–15% instead of 20%.
These changes provide for a differentiated approach to co-financing from local budgets. Specifically, the base level of co-financing is at least 20%. Currently, this threshold has been lowered for certain regions.
Thus, for Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the co-financing level is set at no less than 15%, and for Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv Oblasts—no less than 10% of the funds allocated from the state budget for the implementation of measures.
The changes apply exclusively to municipal property under the management of local communities.
“We have taken into account the actual financial situation in the regions, especially in the frontline regions. Lowering the co-financing threshold will allow communities to implement their resilience plans, as under martial law, local budget resources are primarily directed toward ensuring defense, security, and the functioning of critical infrastructure. This decision supports frontline communities and ensures the implementation of projects within the specified timeframes,” noted Deputy Prime Minister for the Recovery of Ukraine and Minister of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine Oleksii Kuleba.
Consequently, these changes align the co-financing mechanism with the requirements of budget legislation and create conditions for the swiftest possible implementation of measures under comprehensive resilience plans in the regions.
