The event brought together around 80 representatives of Ukrainian and international organizations, as well as local authorities.
During the panel discussions, participants addressed:
-mechanisms for the evacuation of civilians;
-the work of rapid response teams following shelling;
-the role of local organizations in the recovery of affected communities.
Speakers from the Foundation included:
