New patrol police units, which will start its work across Ukraine in late June-early July, will receive cars with environmentally friendly engines from Japan as a part of Kyoto protocol, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said.
“Namely today we almost finish a unique project, which is implemented by
Japanese party as a part of green investment project,” the president said during
the ceremony of passing the automobiles in Kyiv on June 6, with the
participation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
He said these cars won’t just improve conditions of the police service, but
also will reduce fuel consumption, will save money and will improve ecological
situation in the cities, where they would be used.
“Cars that Japan passes to [Ukrainian] Interior Ministry, will be transferred
to a new reshaped national police, patrol service units, which should be a
symbol of zero tolerance to corruption and will be used throughout our state,”
said Poroshenko.
Poroshenko believes that these vehicles can be a symbol of a new honest
police.
In turn, prime minister of Japan said these cars would be a serious
contribution to the reforming of the Ukrainian police.
