Where opportunities lives

    The full-scale ru invasion in 2022 was a point of no returning for many Ukrainian municipalities. For Trostyanets hromada, the invasion turned into a month of occupation, destroyed homes, devastated infrastructure, and multimillion-dollar damage. But at the same time, these trials made our community stronger, more united, and more ambitious.

    Today, 4 years after those terrible events, Trostyanets city hromada demonstrates a unique example of how, even after large-scale destruction, it is possible not only to recover, but also to develop and open up new prospects. This publication contains a number of infrastructure projects that the city authorities have developed for foreign donors, and which were presented to participants during an international conference “Resilience and European Future of Sumy region-2025“ held on October 30, 2025 at the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
