In the presence of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala, a Joint Declaration was signed to establish a Unity Hub of Ukraine in Czechia.
The document was signed by Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of National Unity Oleksiy Chernyshov and Czechia’s First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of the Interior Vít Rakušan.
The center is being created to support Ukrainians living in Czechia and to assist in the return of Ukrainian citizens home. The facility will offer information and consultation services on temporary protection, return, and reintegration, as well as educational and cultural services. Additionally, the Unity Hub will serve as a platform for professional development, including job search assistance for Ukrainian citizens.
Currently, about 600,000 Ukrainians live in Czechia, with 390,000 under temporary protection status.
Joint declarations to establish Unity Hubs have already been signed with Spain, Germany, and France.
