$35 million worth of repairs. Disaster relief experts have come to Ukraine — what’s in it for them
They were involved in the reconstruction of Japan and Haiti after the earthquakes, and now they are building thousands of apartments in Ukraine. Over the decades, Miyamoto International engineers have participated in the reconstruction of tens of thousands of buildings. Now the company is one of the first to invest in the reconstruction of Ukraine. The volume of investments is already estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The owner of the business is a Japanese-American, Kit Miyamoto. He is an engineer and holds a Ph.D. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
We meet Miyamoto at the entrance to the company's Kyiv office. He is wearing a white construction helmet and an olive sweatshirt with the patch "Glory to the Nation, Death to the Enemies" on the shoulder. The businessman has just returned from Vyshhorod, where his company is reconstructing a building near which a Russian missile exploded.
