Consul General Tybinka emphasized the importance of this partnership for the people in Cherson, which is to be dealt with through practical help, such as the provision of three discarded police cars as well as food and medical material.The war in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, has already cost life at least 10,000 civilians.
