Evacuation information hotline 1548 Hotline for prisoners of war, missing, deported and unlawfully detained persons 1648 [Ministry contacts →](https://minregion.gov.ua/en/contacts) News Import 20261030 075f8946f309e999db7da35d Ukraine’s Minister for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons Vitalii Bezghin joined the opening online. In recent years, the number of German-Ukrainian municipal partnerships has more than tripled to 300. They have become a practical tool for supporting communities: helping people and exchanging experience, from generators and shelters to recovery. The Minister thanked the German partners for supporting Ukrainian communities, including Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, GIZ, Engagement Global, SKEW and municipalities. **“**In peacetime, twinning often meant pleasant visits and souvenirs. Since 2022 it has meant very rapid partnership decisions: receiving people forced from their homes by Russia’s war, repairing what has been destroyed, generators and shelters. An important part is sharing invaluable experience that cannot be found in any manual,” said Vitalii Bezghin. The Minister named housing for internally displaced people, civil protection and shelters, digitalisation, local economic development and recovery, strengthening communities’ project capacity and European integration at the local level as partnership priorities. Vitalii Bezghin called for expanding the network of municipal partnerships, particularly in frontline and liberated communities that do not yet have such cooperation. Minregion is ready to help communities find partners together with the Service Agency Communities in One World (SKEW) and the “Bridges of Trust” programme. ## Other news - October 29, 2026[The resilience of Ukrainian communities has a cost — and it extends beyond damaged infrastructure](https://minregion.gov.ua/en/blog/the-resilience-of-ukrainian-communities-has-a-cost-and-it-extends-beyond-damaged-infrastructure-aa9323f7) - October 28, 2026[Nearly 4.5 thousand streets and 33.5 thousand addresses verified in Ukraine during the III quarter](https://minregion.gov.ua/en/blog/nearly-4-5-thousand-streets-and-33-5-thousand-addresses-verified-in-ukraine-during-the-iii-quarter-b26fefb3) - October 28, 2026[Minregion will mobilise an additional UAH 4 billion for housing vouchers for IDPs from temporarily occupied territories: agreement with the Council of Europe Development Bank](https://minregion.gov.ua/en/blog/minregion-will-mobilise-an-additional-uah-4-billion-for-housing-vouchers-for-idps-from-temporarily-occupied-0a3d7717) ### Join the discussion Read draft materials and send your proposals during open public consultations.
