From the first days of the invasion by the aggressor country of the territory of Ukraine, the Komysh-Zoria Settlement Council has suffered devastating missile attacks and human losses.

Community head Ihor Hnatusha immediately organized the work to eliminate the consequences and provide assistance to the population.The invaders did not allow the head of the settlement and the employees of the settlement council to work in the territory of the community. Ihor Hnatusha was forced to leave the territory of the community to the regional centre. But even at a distance, the head of the community was able to organize and run the remote work of the entire team.

Constantly, as long as it was possible, he organized the sending of large loads of humanitarian aid to the occupied territory of the community for the population because the people were on the verge of a disaster having no money, medicines, or food. After the invaders prohibited the delivery of humanitarian aid to the territory of the settlement council, Ihor Hnatusha continues to organize and provide all possible types of assistance to the internally displaced persons of the territorial community.As of today, the territory of the community has suffered destruction, namely: the Komysh-Zoria elevator, the compound feed plant, the Blahovishchenka poultry farm.
