The Government has launched the creation of Support Coordination Centres for civilians during the war. The relevant decision was made at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on May 9, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

"Coordination Centres will be organised under regional state or military administrations to provide additional assistance to Ukrainians in addressing issues of social protection, housing and employment, medical and legal assistance," the Head of Government noted.

The Prime Minister stressed that this decision would also allow for better coordination of the work of the executive branch, law enforcement, local authorities, volunteer and public associations, and international humanitarian organisations.
