Great Wall of Ukraine: Kiev to Spend $200 Million to Wall Off Russia
‘The Ukrainian government has approved an approximate price tag for the construction of a so-called “wall” along its border with Russia: the newly-released cost estimate of $500 mln as of the end of 2014 has been slashed to approximately $200 mln; and the works will run faster – it will now take three years rather than four, as was claimed earlier.
Ukraine has reduced the estimated cost of the construction of a so-called “Wall” project along its border with much-feared Russia.
Construction work will now require 4 billion hryvnias (almost $200 million) and will run for three years. At the end of 2014, the government had claimed it would need four years and an estimated 8 billion hryvnias (at that time, the equivalent of $500 mln).’
