The head of the Luhansk region, Oleksiy Kharchenko, met in Kyiv with the newly appointed head of the IOM Representative Office in Ukraine, Robert Turner, and his deputy, Dejan Keserovic. They discussed the expansion of bilateral partnership in various areas, including providing housing for internally displaced persons, supporting healthcare institutions and social assistance to the population. During the meeting, they reviewed the status of the implementation of current joint projects and identified new areas of assistance to IDPs from the Luhansk region. “We are grateful for the openness to dialogue, real actions and willingness to continue to cooperate to overcome new challenges,” Oleksiy Kharchenko emphasized.
