Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February 2022 we have been receiving numerous requests from German municipalities expressing their solidarity and willing to support Ukraine through municipal partnerships. To make it happen, we make strong efforts to arrange informal solidarity partnerships between German and Ukrainian municipalities for ensuring targeted and need-tailored support.
The term „solidarity partnerships“ is considered as an umbrella term for the municipal partnerships arising due to the war – irrespectively of whether they are agreed on a formal basis with the signing of a partnership agreement or pose an informal connection between the parties.
