Novovolynsk City Council

Novovolynsk is a young mining town in the western part of Volyn Region. On October 25, 2020, the Novovolynsk city territorial community was formed.

It consists of the city of Novovolynsk, the administrative center, the village of Blagodatne, the villages of Hrybovytsia, Hryady, Nyzykynychi, Tyshkovychi, Khreniv and Kropyvshchyna. The hromada covers an area of 75.3 km² and has a population of over 58 thousand residents. The Novovolynsk community has a favorable transport and geographical location. It is located five kilometers from the state border with the Republic of Poland, 30 km from the Ustyluh road crossing, 100 km from the Yahodyn road crossing and passenger railroad crossing. Therefore, Novovolynsk favorably connects the border area of Western Ukraine and Eastern Poland, and is part of the Euroregion Bug cross-border crossing, which facilitates intensive foreign economic relations between the regions of Ukraine and European countries.

🇺🇦🇪🇺🇱🇹 Paulius Saudargas, Member of the European Parliament, visited Novovolynsk. The meeting was held at the initiative of Ihor Huz, Member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

In the European Parliament, Paulius Saudargas focuses on economic affairs, monetary policy and energy. He is also a profound scholar of Ukrainian history and one of Ukraine’s key advocates in the European Parliament.

🙌 The Lithuanian delegation also included Jonas Gudauskas, Assistant to the MEP and former Mayor of Šilalė; Donatas Dilis, Director of the Municipal Administration of Pasvalys and former military officer; Andrius Bautronis, Member of the Raseiniai District Municipal Council; and Laura Graditskienė, Assistant to the MEP.

The main topic of our discussion was the resilience of cities and preparing the population for emergencies. Today, it is no longer only Ukraine learning from Europe — Europe is also learning from us. Our Lithuanian colleagues have a strong interest in our practical experience: how to prepare infrastructure and communities for the challenges of war, and how to ensure that essential services continue operating under critical conditions.

We are ready and willing to share our knowledge. As experience has shown, having reliable partners is essential in times of hardship. For Novovolynsk, this cooperation means building new ties with Lithuanian municipalities and developing joint infrastructure and security projects.

We thank Ihor Huz for initiating this meeting and our Lithuanian partners for their unwavering support for Ukraine and Novovolynsk!

We keep moving forward!

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Two days of work in Brussels. The main focus: turning European support into tangible results for our communities.

During the European Week of Regions and Cities, Mayor of Novovolynsk Borys Karpus took part in discussions at the European Committee of the Regions on Ukraine’s recovery and the role of local communities in this process.

One of the key topics was preparations for the Ukraine Recovery Conference in 2027. It is important that local authorities are directly involved in setting reconstruction priorities, as communities understand the needs of their residents best.

☝️ Particular attention was paid to access to European funding. Implementing municipal projects requires simpler procedures, support in preparing project documentation, and training for local teams. This is especially important for smaller communities that need additional tools to attract investment.

Recovery should not only restore what has been destroyed but also create the conditions for sustainable development. Key priorities include modernising infrastructure, improving energy efficiency, and developing renewable energy. Water utilities, heating systems, and hospitals must remain operational even during power outages.

On the second day, a meeting with representatives of the European Commission’s DG ENEST focused on ways to accelerate the implementation of municipal projects. Proposals included shortening approval timelines, harmonising requirements, and providing funding for project teams and the preparation of technical documentation. The importance of direct access to funding for communities and transparent selection criteria was also emphasised.

🤝 Another important area of cooperation was support from U-LEAD with Europe for strategic planning for 2028–2034, in which the Novovolynsk community also took part. This provides an opportunity to define long-term priorities and lay the foundations for further development.

A separate meeting was held with Lithuanian Member of the European Parliament and friend of Ukraine, Paulius Saudargas. The discussions focused on joint initiatives in Lithuania to exchange experience in emergency response, addressing the challenges of war, and countering disinformation.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Novovolynsk continues to strengthen international partnerships, exchange experience, and work alongside European partners to develop solutions that will contribute to the community’s sustainable development and Ukraine’s recovery.
