Volodymyr Shmatko and his colleagues noted that the highest priority is energy efficiency and rehabilitation of soldiers wounded in the Russian-Ukrainian war. Further consultations will continue with the head of Bad Soden-Salmünster Dominik Brach on what kind of things or equipment the Chortkiv community can receive as part of these packages.
In addition, Dominik Brach noted that there is a large medical hub in their city, which includes five clinics, and they may be able to help with equipment for the rehabilitation department of the Chortkiv Central City Hospital, which is currently undergoing repairs.
Volodymyr Shmatko also agreed with his German colleague on the rehabilitation of a wounded Ukrainian soldier, 31-year-old Yevhen from Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast. Back in 2023, he received a shrapnel wound to his spine and is unable to walk.
As Ukrinform reported, the Czech Republic donated UAH 21 million worth of equipment to the Lviv Perinatal Centre .
