The Ukrainian Red Cross team, together with representatives from the Italian Red Cross, visited emergency workers in the Zhytomyr region

Since the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has received not only humanitarian aid but also practical support from partners eager to share their experience and expertise. During the visit, the Italian Red Cross representatives were introduced to the work of the State Emergency Service units in the Zhytomyr region and discussed opportunities for further collaboration.

The focus was on joint initiatives, exchanging knowledge, and raising public awareness of the risks posed by explosive ordnance. This remains a critical safety concern for civilians, not only in frontline or recently liberated areas but across Ukraine, which continues to face frequent attacks.

In the near future, we plan to take joint steps to inform the public about the dangers associated with explosive devices. We sincerely thank our partners for their trust and support.
