The moderator, Yevhen Kudryavchenko, emphasised the phase of Skhidnytsia’s active growth, accompanied by new projects and investors. Roman Khimyak, Director of the Department of Sport, Youth, and Tourism of the Lviv Regional State Administration, stressed that development is possible thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the initiative “Therapy through Travel” is aimed at servicemen’s recovery.
