What kind of work do members of the “Restoration Army” do?
The Reconstruction Army project was launched by the government in 2022 to support citizens who were left unemployed during the large-scale war with Russia. As the Ministry of Economy notes, socially important types of business depend on the needs of a particular region. Regional leadership determines what work is needed in the region. Applicants sign a fixed-term employment contract for the period of employment. Most often people are offered the following types of employment:
- ensuring the livelihood of those injured as a result of conflicts;
- unloading, packaging and delivery of humanitarian aid;
- Social services for IDPs;
- weaving of camouflage nets;
- canning products, preparing food for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
- sewing and repairing military uniforms and ammunition;
- care of injured military personnel in hospitals and clinics;
- Removal, restoration and repair of rubble of houses destroyed as a result of Russian attacks;
- cleaning of transportation routes damaged as a result of conflicts;
- construction of barricades;
- construction, repair and arrangement of shelters and civil protection shelters;
- strengthening of dams;
- Procurement of firewood for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the population.
