Chahor territorial community

The Head of the Chahor rural territorial community is Heorhii Kobliuk, who was elected in 2020. Since then, he has been working fruitfully for the development of the community and the improvement of its residents’ well-being.
Together with active, hardworking, and caring community members, who particularly distinguish themselves in the agricultural sector, cultural life, and entrepreneurship, changes aimed at improving living conditions are being gradually implemented.
Community residents preserve traditions, develop cultural initiatives, and at the same time strive for development and new opportunities, which forms the basis for the further growth and strengthening of the community.

The Chahor territorial community is located in western Ukraine, near the Romanian border. Military operations have not directly affected the community’s territory, and it has not been subjected to shelling.
At the same time, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022, the community has been actively involved in supporting the Ukrainian military, who are defending the state in the east and south of Ukraine. Community residents have united to help the army: they organize charitable collections and provide the military with food, medicines, clothing, hygiene products, and other necessary items.
Local volunteers play a special role in supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, having continuously conducted humanitarian collections and coordinated aid for the military since the first days of the war. Thanks to the joint efforts of the community members, vehicles have been repeatedly purchased and handed over to Ukrainian defenders, which are used for carrying out combat missions, evacuations, and delivering necessary equipment to the front line.
In addition, the community has become a place of refuge for internally displaced persons. People who were forced to leave their homes due to the war are warmly welcomed here, with the provision of necessary resources and conditions for a more comfortable stay. Residents of the community actively assist displaced persons with housing, humanitarian aid, and social support.
At the same time, the war has not left the community without losses. Unfortunately, there are fallen defenders who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of Ukraine. The memory of them will forever remain in the hearts of the community members — they are honoured and remembered as true heroes.

The history of the community dates back to the 15th century. Important trade routes passed through its territory, and the village of Molodiia is known for the battle of the army of Stephen the Great in 1486.
