On 18 December 2024, a remarkable ceremony took place in Irpin, bringing together representatives of local authorities, international organisations, and civil society. The event served a dual purpose: to honour the victims of the tragedies that occurred in Hostomel, Bucha, and Irpin, and to summarise the humanitarian efforts undertaken in 2024.
The first part of the ceremony was dedicated to the memory of innocent victims – children, the elderly, and all residents of these towns who lost their lives during the brutal acts of war. Symbolic wreaths were laid at memorial sites, and participants paid their respects with a moment of silence.
The Mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Hryhorovych Makushyn, in his address, emphasised that the tragedies of Bucha, Hostomel, and Irpin will forever stand as a testament to the cruelty of war, but also to the resilience and indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people.
The second part of the event provided an opportunity to reflect on the work of international and local organisations in the fields of humanitarian aid and infrastructure reconstruction.
Roman Kasadzhyk, High Commissioner in Ukraine Head of the IHRC Office in Ukraine, played a prominent role in the event. He expressed profound respect for the victims and gratitude to everyone involved in humanitarian efforts. It was highlighted that humanitarian aid is not just about rebuilding homes and schools but, above all, about restoring hope. International Human Rights Commission -IHRC plays a pivotal role in supporting communities affected by tragedy.
The significance of international cooperation and the role of donors and investors, whose contributions enabled the reconstruction of towns such as Irpin, Bucha, and Hostomel, were underscored. The need for continued support for communities affected by the conflict was stressed, with calls for ongoing international engagement.
The event featured speeches by the Mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Hryhorovych Makushyn; Ashot Dadikovych Avanesyan, Chairperson of the Council of National Communities of Ukraine; Rovshan Tagiyev, Chairperson of the Assembly of Nationalities; Vasyl Hryhorovych Kelioglo, Chairperson of the Gagauz Union of Ukraine; and Oleksandr Serhiyovych Osipov, Representative of the Ombudsman for Nationalities.
The participants expressed a shared commitment to continuing dialogue and actions towards rebuilding the towns and safeguarding human rights in the face of new challenges brought by war.
During the ceremony, the organisers extended special thanks to donors and investors whose financial support made key reconstruction projects possible. The role of organisations like the IHRC in mobilising the international community to act in support of Ukraine was also emphasised.
The event in Irpin was not only an occasion to commemorate the victims but also an opportunity to highlight the importance of joint efforts in rebuilding and supporting communities affected by tragedy. Thanks to the dedication of international organisations such as the IHRC and the backing of local and international communities, Irpin, Bucha, and Hostomel stand as symbols of hope, solidarity, and resilience.
