At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the border town of Trostianets was occupied for nearly a month. After its liberation, reconstruction began, as nearly all the infrastructure that provided essential services and jobs to the community was damaged by the Russian military: a hospital, a library, the city council building, a chocolate factory, an emergency station, and more.
As part of the Restoration project, we talk about the Trostianets master plan, which is crucial for the partnership's rebuilding process; the library in the village of Soldatske; a high-rise building that served as an enemy firing position; an outpatient clinic; and the nearly restored city hospital, which was hit by a Russian missile once again. Watch the new episode to learn about the revival of the Trostianets community and hear from people who see the value in rebuilding something that could be destroyed again.
