The implementation of the MTOT and the World Bank project on psychosocial assistance to the population affected by the conflict continues in Luhansk oblast. The Minister Vadym Chernysh observed how training of specialists is going and the first results of the project

In 2014, with the beginning of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in the East of Ukraine, Luhansk oblast was on the verge of energy crisis. Luhansk Thermal Power Station remained the only source of electricity; it is situated practically on the contact line.

The situation is complicated by the fact that Luhansk oblast became the “energy island” and practically was not connected to the United Energy System of Ukraine
