The local election must be held, based on the new administrative arrangement. In Ukraine 43% hromadas entered AHs at the voluntary phase, whereas 57% were still not amalgamated at the beginning of the year, so they will be amalgamated in an administrative way. The Kyiv region was one of the first regions to complete the reform. At the end of 2019 there were formed 22 or 23 hromadas out of the 69, envisaged by the project. At the beginning of 2020 the Kyiv region was the first to submit the draft of its perspective plan for the Cabinet of Ministers to approve. Why is it so important and how can AHs formation soften the blow of the world and Ukrainian economic crisis.
