Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that construction of new high-quality roads in Ukraine with the involvement of funds of foreign partners is essential for the country.

"We’ve forgotten how to build roads, asphalt plants stopped and do not operate, there is no asphalt, stones. They forgot how to hold tenders, as they worked only if it was possible to steal money. We should see new contractors who can show both good quality and terms and the competitive price," the president said during his visit of the section of the Mukacheve-Lviv (H-09) highway in Ivano-Frankivsk on Wednesday.

He said that Ivano-Frankivsk region should become the proving ground of how to build roads in Ukraine.

"Later, you know that now roads are being built in Zakarpattia and in Lviv region, we would speak about Central Ukraine and we will restore infrastructure of Donbas and build roads there, including using the funds of foreign partners," the president said.
