On 10 July, the Odesa Local Government Development Centre, established with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme and MinRegion, organised a press tour to the Avanhardivska amalgamated hromada of the Ovidiopol Rayon of the Odesa Oblast.

The AH was formed in 2017 by uniting two councils – the Avanhard settlement and Prylymanske village councils – with the centre in Avanhard. More than 10 thousand people live on the AH territory.

During the press tour, journalists visited the village of Prylymanske, which has recently become part of the hromada, and the AH centre Avanhard, a powerful urban-type settlement with well-developed infrastructure and the largest manufactured goods market of Eastern Europe – the Seventh Kilometre. However, despite the fact that Prylymanske is also close to this large facility, the situation there has been quite different recently.
