Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers has appointed former MP Mustafa Nayyem as the head of the State Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure, Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry said in a Telegram post on Jan. 27.

The said agency will deal with post-war reconstruction, oversee the rebuilding of damaged infrastructure facilities, and coordinate with international donors.

As reported by Ukrainian media outlet LIGA.net, the newly created agency represents a reformed iteration of former Ukravtodor (State Agency of Automobile Roads of Ukraine), which absorbed Ukrinfraprojekt (State Agency for Infrastructure Projects) on Jan. 13.
