A solemn ceremony of awarding the laureates of the international award BUSINESS GRAVITY AWARDS 2026 was held in the capital of Ukraine - a high-level event that brought together representatives of public administration, business, the investment environment, international organizations and the public sector.
This award has established itself as an authoritative international platform, where those who do not just respond to the challenges of the time are recognized, but also shape changes, ensure results and set modern guidelines for the development of the state. Wide media coverage, the participation of more than 250 high-level representatives, the presence of opinion leaders, managers, investors and partners only enhance its prestige and significance. An award of this level is not just an award, but a recognized sign of professionalism, trust and real influence.
Among the laureates is the head of the Department of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports of the Maryinsky City Military Administration Lyudmila Panchenko. Its activities are an example of systematic, responsible management, based on people, processes and results. Under its leadership, key areas of public life of the community are developing: education, culture, youth policy, sports - areas that shape the quality of life of the community and ensure their coordinated and effective interaction. This is more than organizing work. This is the ability to ensure the sustainability of processes, make balanced decisions and achieve results even in the most difficult conditions.
This is how Donetsk region works today - a region where development has a practical dimension, where every decision equals responsibility, and the main criterion remains the result. This is a region of people of action: those who ensure the functioning of education, form a cultural space, work with youth, develop sports, support social stability and viability of the entire system. It is they who shape the modern Donetsk region, ensure its stability and determine the vector of its development. International recognition of this work is not just a distinction. It is an indicator of the level of Donetsk region, the strength of its people, their responsibility and professionalism.
We are sincerely proud that it was our representative, Lyudmila Panchenko, who became the laureate of the prestigious BUSINESS GRAVITY AWARDS 2026. This is convincing evidence that daily hard work, competence and dedication have weight and are well-deserved recognition in the world.
Sincere gratitude to the organizers of the award for the high level of the event and to everyone who supports and develops initiatives aimed at strengthening the state.
