Novovolynsk: The City of Reliable Rear

Ukrainian #cities_in_the_rear continue to work in a coordinated manner and support our country. Today in our column, we will talk about Novovolynsk.

  • Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 9,000 internally displaced people have been registered in the Novovolynsk community. For some IDPs, Novovolynsk has become a reliable outpost before going abroad. However, more than 6,500 IDPs remain in the city.
  • Novovolynsk has been working for victory since the first day of the war. It helps our defenders on the front line. It supports Ukrainian cities that have been destroyed. For example, recently, a significant batch of humanitarian aid (from food, warm clothes, and medicines to sawdust) was delivered to Izium. Read more: https://bit.ly/3WtC7R
