In December 2010, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych announced that the former Transport and Communications Ministry (Ukrainian: Міністерство транспорту та зв'язку України) would be reorganized into the Ministry of Infrastructure. The head office was located in Kyiv.[4][5] On 12 May 2011, the Ministry of Infrastructure was approved as the successor of the Transport and Communications Ministry.[6]
