As part of the work of the regional coordinators, 123 measures aimed at overcoming the challenges faced by IDPs were carried out.
Among the needs of IDPs, issues of humanitarian aid, employment and housing remain relevant.
Regional coordinators visit Vinnytsia, Poltava, Sumy, Cherkasy, Ternopil, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Chernihiv, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Volyn and Chernivtsi regions.
