Today, March 27, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Great Britain to Ukraine Melinda Simmons, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to Ukraine Bartosz Cihotski, representative of the International Solidarity Fund, are visiting Lviv region.

 Within the scope of the visit, together with the head of the Lviv RMA, Maksym Kozytskyi, they visited a modular two-story town for the residence of internally displaced persons and talked with its residents. It was built in Lviv with the support of Great Britain and Poland. Today, 700 immigrants live here.

 "Russia's invasion led to the fact that millions of Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes. I am very pleased that Britain and Poland are working together to provide temporary housing for displaced people. The international community is united in our common determination to support the brave people of Ukraine as long as it takes," said Melinda Simmons, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Great Britain to Ukraine.

 "It is a great honor for us that this project for the construction of modular towns, which began in April last year in Lviv, now reflects the unity of the international community around Ukraine - the victim of Russian criminal aggression. I am glad that families have found shelter here. I wish that these towns, on the one hand, unite Ukrainians who are here from different regions of Ukraine, and on the other hand, we would all like them to remain empty as soon as possible and you could return to your homes, and we were able to rebuild your real life in a safe, peaceful and victorious Ukraine," emphasized the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to Ukraine Bartosz Cihotski.

 The head of the region Maksym Kozytskyi thanked the government and people of Great Britain and the Republic of Poland for all the military, diplomatic and humanitarian assistance they have provided to our state and citizens since the beginning of the full-scale war. In particular, for the shelter and provision of everything necessary for thousands of Ukrainians who were forced to flee their homes due to the occupation's military actions.

"Britain and Poland are two countries that have been helping us with everything they can from the first day of the war. Thank you for your support and for this house construction project. This is a project of great humanity, sensitivity and kind hearts. We gratefully accept your help and believe that after the victory of Ukraine, we will implement joint projects - to create new jobs, housing for permanent residence, opportunities for the return of those Ukrainians who were forced to leave the country. Together, we can do everything," said Maksym Kozytskyi.

 It should be noted that the modular town is inhabited mainly by women with children. Most of them are from Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions.

 Settlement here continues. It is ready to accommodate another 700 people.
