The city of Avranches continues its commitment alongside Ukraine and the city of Ichnia. Following an initial meeting between their mayors at the Congrès des Maires, Avranches welcomed a Ukrainian delegation on November 18, 2023, led by Olena Buturlym, mayor of Ichnia, along with her deputies and Member of Parliament Valentyn Zaporoshchuk.
Beyond their declaration of friendship, a €10,000 grant has already been approved for the renovation of Ichnia’s hospital, marking a first concrete act of support. During their visit, the Ukrainian delegation also had the opportunity to explore Avranches and Mont-Saint-Michel.
Three French cities—Avranches, Plœmeur, and Sarcelles—have chosen to establish a partnership with Ichnia, sharing a common vision: building strong and tangible partnerships with Ukraine. This initiative, led at the local government level, enables direct action on the ground, addressing the needs of the population.
Stand With Ukraine welcomes this commitment and will continue to support French municipalities mobilizing for Ukraine.
