Veteran Hub is the first open space for the veterans ATO/OUF and civic human rights organizations to provide them with the social, psychological, juridical and educational support.

This project is devoted to the residents from the Southern regions of Ukraine, particularly from Crimea, Zaporizhya and Kherson regions who were defending our country in different periods against the army of Ukrainian People’s Republic, Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the modern Ukrainian-Russian war. These persons united to remind us that there are always people who fights for their country.
