Vladyslav Klochkov on the Center's mission:
The opening of the Center is our duty to those who risked their lives for Ukraine. We help not only veterans return to life but also everyone affected by the war. The next step should be the creation of a network of regional centers that will support not only servicemen but also their families..."
