As we planned to procure rolling stock for the metro, we will enter the tender – also procuring rolling stock for the metro. We also plan to participate in the tender. There are all technical conditions for the purchase of electric buses. This is a new mode of transportation that will appear on the streets of Kharkiv. For us, €15 million is already reserved for this project. In addition, there are many projects for the restoration of housing and infrastructure in the city of Kharkiv that we will undertake with our international partners,’ said the mayor.
