The Cabinet of Ministers expanded the critical infrastructure protection project to include transport and mail
The Cabinet of Ministers has expanded the list of sectors participating in the pilot project on the construction and protection of critical infrastructure facilities. From now on, it includes not only the fuel and energy sector, but also the railway transport, postal sector, and life support systems. This is stated in Government Resolution No. 1315, which supplements the previous document adopted in February 2025.
The expanded project covers railway transport facilities, postal services, water and heat supply, as well as other life support systems. This concerns construction, reconstruction, overhaul and implementation of technical solutions to protect such facilities.
The participation includes “Ukrzaliznytsia”, the Restoration Agency, regional and Kyiv city military administrations. These structures will have the authority to order work and report on the use of budget funds.
The project will be financed from state and local budgets, including the reserve fund, as well as from other sources not prohibited by law. The Ministry of Development must, within five working days after receiving the documents, agree on a list of facilities to be restored or protected. It will include facilities that require urgent strengthening, installation of generators, battery stations and other technical means to ensure stable operation.
Infrastructure operators will be able to transfer the functions of customers to state-owned enterprises or local administrations. The government notes that the purpose of the changes is to increase the resilience of critical infrastructure in wartime. These are facilities necessary for the normal life of citizens – transport, energy, communications, postal services, water and heat supply.
The new rules allow for more efficient decisions on financing work to protect such facilities and simplify interaction between government agencies.
