Ukraine: Odesa Oblast improves emergency services with safety centre expansion, thanks to EU bank support
A second building has been added to the Citizen Safety Centre in Avangard, Odesa Oblast, increasing the emergency response capacity in a region regularly targeted by Russian shelling and located on key transport routes.
