Term "outpost community" introduced for frontline settlements. What does it mean?

A pilot project is being launched in Ukraine for communities located within a 100-kilometer zone from the front line and the border with russia. Such communities will be called "outpost communities".

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced this during a Cabinet meeting on January 31.

"Outpost communities" will be provided with humanitarian, social, financial, medical and other assistance by other communities located further from the front line.

Shmyhal noted that this decision continues the policy of unity and mutual assistance and recalled that this year the National Uniting Platform of United Communities "Side by Side" was formed.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Pokrovsk axis remains the hottest on the entire frontline, the enemy continues to put pressure on the positions of Ukrainian troops, trying to break through the defense.

The day before, the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group of Troops stated that the number of battles near Pokrovsk is commensurate with the number of combat clashes on the entire front.
