From Tolocar Playbook/Story Chernihiv

Chernihiv on the Desna River has always been known for its rich history, cultural heritage, and architectural landmarks. Now it is also known for its citizens, whose remarkable courage and determination – to the point of blowing up their own bridges – halted the advance of Russian forces. The Tolocar project worked with the local community on several projects, e.g. to build a new innovation hub.

From Wikipedia:Ukraine

Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It is the second-largest country in Europe after Russia, which borders it to the east and northeast. Ukraine also borders Belarus to the north; Poland and Slovakia to the west; Hungary, Romania and Moldova to the southwest; and the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov to the south and southeast. Kyiv is Ukraine's capital and largest city, followed by Kharkiv, Odesa, and Dnipro. The official language of the country is Ukrainian. Ukraine covers an area of 603,628 km² (233,062 sq mi) with an estimated total population of 32.3 million in 2026.

Ukraine is a unitary state and its system of government is a semi-presidential republic. A developing country, it is the poorest country in Europe by nominal GDP per capita and corruption remains a significant issue. However, due to its extensive fertile land, pre-war Ukraine was one of the largest grain exporters in the world. It is a founding member of the United Nations, as well as a member of the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization, and the OSCE. It is in the process of joining the European Union and has applied to join NATO. ^W
