Kyiv • UNN
The Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity continues to develop a digital tool for communication with Ukrainians abroad. The Ministry will also continue its work on establishing Unity Centers abroad.
In July of this year, the Cabinet of Ministers reorganized the Ministry of National Unity and merged it with the Ministry of Social Policy. Accordingly, the Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity continues to develop a digital tool for communication with Ukrainians abroad. The Ministry will also continue its work on establishing Unity Centers abroad.
This was reported to UNN journalist by Denys Uliutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family, and Unity.
Details
When asked whether work on creating a platform for Ukrainians abroad is ongoing, Uliutin replied:
Absolutely. Yes. There is no working title.
The Minister emphasized that the Ministry of Social Policy recently received additional powers from the Ministry of Unity.
We understand that this policy should not overlap with the policy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is more of a cultural, educational, supportive function, working with Ukrainians who are abroad. So that they maintain this connection with Ukraine, and also many services they need, which can be provided in Unity Hubs, which we will continue to implement. There is a successful concept and structure – these are Resilience Centers. We need to build something similar abroad for Ukrainians so that they understand that they are part of our state.
Context
