Two more regions, Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk, have been drawn into the Army of Reconstruction project.



This was reported by the Ministry of Economy.

Now residents of these regions who are officially registered as unemployed and cannot find a job within 30 days can be "employed" outside their profession. What kind of work the unemployed will be involved in depends on the needs of the region - it can be construction of structures or removal of rubble, as well as unloading or packing humanitarian aid, setting up shelters, providing services at non-destruction points, and so on.

According to the Ministry of Economy Yulia Sviridenko, at present 8.5 thousand people from 13 regions have become members of the "Army of Recovery". They have already been paid a total of 56 million UAH for the work done. The budget for this year provides for 104 million UAH for the item.

It should be recalled that members of the Restoration Army are paid at least 6,700 hryvnias per job, which is more than the average unemployment benefit.
