Grant Shapps pledges support to rebuild war-torn Ukraine infrastructure.

Grant Shapps said hosting a refugee family has made the war `real´ to him.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has unveiled a deal to help rebuild war-torn Ukraine, adding that hosting a refugee family has made the war “real” to him.

As Ukraine’s infrastructure collapses six months into Russia’s invasion, the package will provide engineering expertise from companies including Rolls-Royce.

Along with providing advice on reconstructing airports, runways and ports, the deal also earmarks £10 million for repairing bridges and buying shipping containers to mobilise grain trains.
