Ukraine has agreed with the Czech Republic to open a Unity Hub to support Ukrainians living in the Czech Republic, as well as to facilitate the return of Ukrainians home.
The Office of the President has announced this, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
In particular, it is reported that in the presence of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala, a Joint Declaration was signed on the creation of the Unity Hub of Ukraine in the Czech Republic. The document was signed by Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Unity of Ukraine Oleksii Chernyshov and First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of the Interior of the Czech Republic Vít Rakušan.
"The center is being created to support Ukrainians living in Czechia and to assist in the return of Ukrainian citizens home. The facility will offer information and consultation services on temporary protection, return, and reintegration, as well as educational and cultural services. Additionally, the Unity Hub will serve as a platform for professional development, including job search assistance for Ukrainian citizens," the report says.
It is noted that currently about 600,000 Ukrainians live in the Czech Republic, of which 390,000 have temporary protection status.
Joint declarations on the creation of unity centers of Ukraine have already been concluded with Spain, Germany and France.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on December 3, 2024, the Verkhovna Rada appointed Oleksii Chernyshov, Chairman of the Board of the Naftogaz of Ukraine National Joint-Stock Company, to the position of Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Unity of Ukraine.
According to Chernyshov, one of the key tools in the work of the Ministry of National Unity will be Unity Hubs - support centers for Ukrainians in countries of temporary residence.
According to Eurostat, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, about 4.2 million Ukrainians have received temporary protection in the countries of the European Union.
