Yuriy Klyuchka, Deputy Head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, and Oksana Golovko, Director of the Department of Investment, Innovation, and External Relations of the Regional State Administration, met with representatives of the Czech humanitarian organization “People in Need,” led by Sofia Popovich, Deputy Director of Program Activities.
During the meeting, they discussed the humanitarian and security situation in the Donetsk region, coordination with local authorities and partners in implementing measures, as well as future plans for cooperation.
“The support of international and foreign partners is extremely valuable and vital to us. The security situation in the region remains extremely tense. Settlements are regularly subjected to rocket and bomb attacks, which creates significant difficulties for the region’s daily life.
Under these conditions, the primary task is to meet the basic, most urgent needs of the population—those that directly affect people’s daily lives,” noted Yuriy Klyuchka.
The humanitarian organization “People in Need” has been providing multisectoral humanitarian aid to the population of Donetsk Oblast since 2014. It is one of the first international organizations that, thanks to financial support from international donors, quickly and effectively mobilized its resources following the full-scale invasion to assist the population of Donetsk Oblast and organized the delivery of food, drinking water, hygiene products, and other essentials to communities and social welfare institutions in the region.
For example, in 2026 alone, “People in Need” carried out minor and moderate repairs on homes in the Kramatorsk community, delivered 400 winter survival kits to the Druzhkivka community, and supplied resilience centers with 10 tons of fuel briquettes and over 3,000 bottles of water. The Andriivska community received 250 hygiene kits.
