The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) plans to build several more modular towns for internally displaced persons (IDPs), General Director of the National Committee of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society Maksym Dotsenko said at a press conference on Wednesday during the opening of the town in Chernihiv.

"It is with this technology that we are now starting construction in Zakarpattia region for people who left Luhansk region. This is a joint work with Luhansk regional administration, Zakarpattia regional administration and the Ukrainian Red Cross Society," he said.

In addition, according to him, projects using other technology are being implemented with the support of the Italian Red Cross in Zhytomyr and Kyiv regions. This technology makes it possible to build high-quality housing that provides decent and comfortable living.

"I in no way criticize other projects, but these modular houses are a completely different level of comfort and opportunities for the people who live in them," the URCS director said.

According to Maksym Dotsenko, as practice shows, taking into account the construction of houses, landscaping of the territory and the installation of utilities, the implementation of such projects requires from seven-eight months to a year.

Such houses can be two- or three-story, the warranty on the technology is 30 years, and the duration of operation is 100 years.

As previously reported, the URCS, in collaboration with the local authorities of the city of Chernihiv and Chernihiv State Military Administration, built a modular town in Chernihiv. The URCS invested UAH 156 million in the project, the city budget - UAH 75 million.
