Sog de Yoon said that they would like to contribute to the restoration of the destroyed Ukrainian cities. He is well aware that this requires a lot of money. And they have come here not to start any new businesses for profit, but to help Ukraine in its struggle and recovery.

Among the projects that are a priority for the Restoration Agency and can be implemented in cooperation with K-water is the water supply in the village of Posad-Pokrovske, in the Kherson region.

Also, according to the memorandum, the Reconstruction Agency and K-water will exchange experience in building 'smart cities' (an environmentally friendly, information technology-based approach), and implementing various infrastructure projects that will help rebuild damaged and destroyed Ukrainian infrastructure.
