The Government has adopted a decision to launch a pilot project to strengthen cooperation between hromadas. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a Cabinet of Ministers meeting on 31 January.
"Supporting each other in difficult times is an integral element of our resilience and success as a State. This also applies to support at the community level," said Denys Shmyhal.
The resolution provides for the introduction of the concept of an ‘outpost community’ - these are communities located within a 100-kilometre zone from the frontline, as well as from the border with russia.
"The project is aimed to involve as many rear-guard communities as possible in supporting the outpost communities. This can be done through the conclusion of special agreements under which humanitarian, social, medical, logistical, financial and other assistance will be provided," the Prime Minister stressed.
He noted that today's decision is a continuation of the policy of unity and mutual assistance and reminded that this year the Cohesive Communities National Unifying Platform part of the Shoulder to Shoulder project had been formed.
