Clothing, medicine, food and other aid were sent to Novohuyvinske municipality
As part of our coverage of the local and regional dimensions of Russia’s war in Ukraine, CEMR is highlighting the help given by European municipalities and regions to their Ukrainian peers. We hope these stories inspire other local and regional governments to heighten their efforts to support Ukraine.
Lazdijai District Municipality (Lithuania) has provided humanitarian aid to Novohuyvinske, a municipality in northern Ukraine. The Lithuanian partner sent 183 thermal clothes, 100 shoes and 100 sleeping bags, as well as medicines, non-perishable foods and hygiene products.
Novohuyvinske Village Council thanked Lazdijai District saying: “In this difficult time, we felt a reliable shoulder of help and support. It is in trials that strong and reliable relationships are born. Thank you partners, friends, colleagues! Our Victory is your Victory!”
The two partners first met in November 2021, in the framework of the “Bridges of Trust” Initiative, implemented by CEMR and PLATFORMA with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme.
