Pyryatin COMMUNITY

The Pyriatyn community is located on the border of the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, as well as in relative proximity to the Sumy region, where hostilities took place.

Given its geographical location, Pyriatyn has become a “logistics hub” for forcibly displaced persons: the number of received citizens has already exceeded 30,000, and the number of IDPs staying in the community has reached 4,000, including 1,289 children.People of the Community
