In Ukraine, extensive road surface restoration is ongoing: the elimination of damage over an area of 10 million m² is planned to be completed very soon. Despite the difficult conditions of wartime and limited funding, road workers are maintaining a high pace. At the same time, the need for repairs remains significantly greater, and the state continues to seek opportunities for additional sector funding. On the pace of work, priorities in road restoration, and further plans for the development of road infrastructure, Acting Chairman of the Board of JSC “State Company Ukrainian Roads” Oleksiy Doroshenko spoke on the Suspilne broadcast.

Broadcast recording

The true value of the leader of a large systemic company lies not only in their professional and organisational abilities. An important quality is their ability to establish personal communication with the company’s employees, to be open to communication, and to be able not only to listen but truly hear the person with whom they are speaking. On Monday, 11 May, an interaction took place between the Acting Chairman of the Board of JSC “Ukrainian Automobile Roads” Oleksiy Doroshenko and the company’s employees who had previously sent their questions, as well as those who called the open line. In order to provide the most substantiated answers according to the queries, the heads of all structural divisions of the company’s office were present at the meeting with the employees. Undoubtedly, considering the wage arrears accumulated by previous company leaders, the issue of timely payment in full of the specified funds was a key concern for employees of subsidiary enterprises and company branches.

Employees who called the helpline were also interested in issues related to the Company’s recovery and the effective operation of their divisions according to their core activities, organisational communication issues between the State Enterprise and the JSC branches, and the timeliness of contract review and signing with subcontractors. Considering that the Company’s management is currently conducting official investigations as part of an active policy to prevent potential corruption and cleanse the workforce of dishonest employees, as well as strategies for restoring subsidiaries (which previous management had driven to bankruptcy to acquire their assets cheaply), during Oleksiy Doroshenko’s discussions with employees concerned about the future of their state enterprises, a decision was made to invite this week the branch directors of this state enterprise, the head of the trade union, the chief accountant and the company engineer to Kyiv to develop joint solutions.

Undoubtedly, some people had previously sent extremely provocative questions to the head of the Company. However, the situation surprised everyone present in the Company’s office hall because those who wrote these questions did not answer the calls from Oleksiy DOROSHENKO, which he made via video link. Those who are used to hiding behind the cover of anonymous Telegram channels, as always, were not ready to communicate with an open face.

The open line number continues to operate!

JSC “Ukrainian Motor Roads”

On the night of 8 to 9 May, a group of unidentified individuals attacked one of the production bases of SE “Volynoblavtodor” in the city of Lutsk. Methodically and brutally, the windows of specialized equipment used by the enterprise for road maintenance work in the region were broken. Damage was caused to equipment, which was mutilated and smashed. Windows in all the rooms of the production base were also broken. Unfortunately, by today this is no longer an isolated case of attempts by external individuals to influence the stability of the operations of JSC “State Company “Roads of Ukraine”. Sending fake letters through the regional road system, false reports to the police emergency line about the alleged placement of an enemy flag at the company’s central office, technical damage to the management’s vehicles and much more are clear attempts to intimidate the company’s staff and instill fear in the minds of its employees. THE GOAL is simple – to hinder the recovery of the largest operator in Ukraine’s road sector!

This is a clear attempt to intimidate the company’s staff and instil fear in the minds of its employees. The goal is simple – to hinder the recovery of Ukraine’s largest road sector operator! We officially and confidently declare to all those who previously used the Company’s state property at their own discretion as if it were their own, and methodically tried to destroy it for personal profit. JSC “Ukrainian Roadways” will continue to: cleanse the Company of corrupt and dishonest employees; return movable and immovable property of the Company that was previously stolen and used for years by private enterprises for their own interests; restore those subsidiaries that were driven to bankruptcy by previous management in order to acquire their assets cheaply. Threatening the Company and its staff with criminal actions will bring criminals no benefit or effect. The management of JSC “Ukrainian Roadways” responsibly emphasises that the restoration of the Company will continue further. We are working for the interests of the State and are creating, based on our Company, a key operator of Ukraine’s critical infrastructure!

JSC “State Joint-Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” continues systematic work on entering into the State Register of property damaged and destroyed as a result of hostilities, terrorist acts, sabotage caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, real estate objects owned by the Company and its subsidiaries.

According to preliminary calculations:

• the minimum amount of lost profit is over 3,400,000,000 UAH.
• the amount of direct losses is estimated at over 870,000,000 UAH.
• As of 08.05.2026, 36 objects have already been entered into the Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property (RPZM), of which in:

Dnipropetrovsk region – 1 (18 buildings and 65 units of movable property – damage at the level of 80-100%);

Kyiv region – 2 (destroyed: 5 buildings – damage at the level of 40-80%, and 5 buildings – 20-40%. Also destroyed 27 units of movable property);

Kirovohrad region – 1 (8 buildings damaged – additional damage was received by a loader and an asphalt concrete plant (ABZ));

Mykolaiv region – 1 (6 buildings damaged – degree of damage 40-80%. Also destroyed 6 units of movable property);

Poltava region – 1 (2 buildings damaged – degree of damage 80-100%);

Sumy region – 4 (9 buildings damaged, of which: 6 – degree of damage 80-100%, 3 – degree of damage 40-80%. Also destroyed 19 units of movable property including ABZ);

Kharkiv region – 23 (20 production bases damaged – degree of damage: 7 bases – 20%, 5 bases – 20-40%, 7 bases – 40-80%. 1 base almost completely destroyed and not subject to restoration);

Kherson region – 3 (almost all property stolen, control over most production bases lost, other production bases destroyed).

Considering that missile and drone attacks and artillery shelling by the enemy lead to the destruction of movable and immovable property of the Company – recording the specified losses is extremely important, because it forms the basis for determining the amount of future compensation at the expense of the seized assets of the aggressor country.

On Monday, May 11, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, an open communication will be held by the Acting Chairman of the Board of JSC “State Joint Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” Oleksiy DOROSHENKO with everyone who:

• sends their questions or suggestions in advance
• calls the specified hotline number at this time

After all, building a high-quality feedback system from staff to management is always an extremely important and necessary principle for building a professional personnel policy and forming a solid foundation for the organizational development of each enterprise.

The openness of the management of JSC “State Joint Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” to communication with the team, when employees have the opportunity to regularly communicate not only with the company’s specialized managers but also directly with its head, provides the opportunity for each employee of the multi-thousand-strong team to freely express their opinion on their own painful issue, concern about a certain situation that has arisen, and to receive support from management.

And the main thing is that people need, above all, an understanding that management sees and hears them, and supports them not only organizationally, but also emotionally.

A few months ago, at the initiative of the Acting Chairman of the Board of JSC “State Joint Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” Oleksiy DOROSHENKO, an open telephone line was introduced for appeals from caring employees of the Company – both those who work in it today and those who worked in the past and to whom the Company has not yet fully closed its financial obligations under its former leaders.

Oleksiy DOROSHENKO systematically reviews the messages received by the hotline number and communicates with people who have called it. Based on the facts of this communication, appropriate instructions are given to the heads of subordinate SEs, and if necessary, official inspections are carried out and appropriate management decisions are made. If there are evidentiary facts based on the appeals, in order to ensure transparency of management processes, the materials are transferred for consideration to law enforcement agencies.

We are waiting for your questions at the indicated appeal number!

Oleksiy DOROSHENKO will call you personally and will be ready to communicate with YOU!

The terrifying photos of a Russian missile landing at the production base of one of the regional road construction companies of JSC “State Joint – Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” are striking.

The ballistic hit on a peaceful state-owned road enterprise, which worked practically around the clock on the country’s roads, providing traffic and removing snowdrifts from them, does not obey any logic.

– Production and administrative premises were destroyed, specialized road equipment and mechanisms were destroyed.

What the Russian barbarians did to the equipment that went out on the roads every day as part of road repair teams is not clear.

The enemy, in his impotent rage, is committing ever greater crimes and after the terrible shelling of the energy infrastructure, hits on trains and depots of the Ukrainian railway, has now begun hunting for the equipment and production facilities of the regional road construction companies.

In this regard, the safety of road transport in the country and the provision of a key systemic state-owned company, which is able to lend the State a shoulder in difficult times, with additional resources in the form of equipment (both for horizontal and vertical construction) – receive a fundamentally different vision.

Let us recall that it was JSC “State Joint-Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” that provided more than 40% of road crews and more than 37% of special equipment during the peak days of the fight against the winter elements. And now, support from the government, as well as international organizations, funds, donors, and international companies in the field of road construction and operation, on whose balance sheet there are thousands of units of equipment used in the construction and operation of roads, but which have already been decommissioned due to the renewal of the technological and automotive fleet, is extremely important.

The Company already has positive experience in transferring such equipment. That is why JSC “State Joint – Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” will be grateful to all European and international institutions for their support and consideration of the possibility of transferring such equipment in the form of technical assistance to the Company’s subordinate regional road transport departments. Especially to those who are directly close to the zone of military operations and are daily at risk of air and missile strikes by Russian aggressors.

JSC “State Joint – Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” is a key systemic state company that does everything to ensure the implementation of a strategic direction for the State – the safety of road transport!

COLLEAGUES! FRIENDS! PARTNERS!

The war continues, but we stand firmly on our own land.

Yet to become even stronger, we must change. We must transform our Company, as it is currently in a difficult state.

You know the challenges your enterprises face — I won’t list them. But we can change everything; it is within our power. That’s why we have developed a step-by-step Action Plan aimed at developing the Company in the road and related sectors. Road construction and maintenance are not our areas of activity.

We will:

• build protective facilities for our energy infrastructure and provide the Armed Forces with anti-drone structures;
• create separate units for humanitarian demining of areas adjacent to key highways, as well as for the construction of fortification structures.

Unfortunately, a significant part of our Company’s enterprises are currently in bankruptcy proceedings.
Within 2–3 years, we plan to bring the Company back to life! We will:

• settle all wage arrears — everyone to whom the Company owes money will receive it;
• pay off most of the tax and fee debts, and clear outstanding obligations to creditors.

For this, we need your personal support!

We will engage each of you who are active and proactive in the most exciting projects — and we will fairly reward your work.

Every day, I and the Company’s management meet with the heads of regional road enterprises to understand our real situation and to correct it. As a result, we have a clear picture of who truly fulfills their duties and wants to work as part of the team — and who has given up and is indifferent to the future of both the Company and the people who have placed their trust in them as a leader.

That is why my message to every head of a subsidiary enterprise is very simple:

Financial performance and personal proactivity — these are your main evaluation criteria.

I am addressing a PERSONAL REQUEST to all employees of our subsidiaries, branches, and departments.

097 569 7998

This is my personal phone number for direct communication with each of you.
The Company currently unites nearly 4,000 employees, so it will be difficult to answer every call. However, if you send me a message via any messenger (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal), I will read all of them. I will personally speak with some of you. Your input will form the basis for the Company’s management decisions.

If:

• you have ideas on how to improve your enterprise’s operations;
• you have suggestions for optimizing technological processes;
• you are aware of corruption or those involved in it;
• you know about problems that hinder effective work — write to me!

Only together can we make our Company profitable again, and your salaries — sufficient to meet your families’ needs.

I WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM EACH OF YOU!

With sincere respect,
Oleksii DOROSHENKO
