A new application “TurBOT about IDPs” has started working in Ukraine: the chatbot is designed to help internally displaced persons integrate into the host communities, the Ministry of Reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory reports.
“For example, with the help of a chat-bot it will be possible to find housing in the new region, find out what documents are necessary to obtain IDP status, how and where to get help, addresses and phone numbers of the CPAU and the like. For convenience, all the information in the chat-bot is grouped by relevant sections,” reads the report of the Ministry of Information in Telegram-channel on Saturday.
Reportedly, so far the application has been developed for four cities: Kiev, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernovtsy. In the future it is planned to increase the number of settlements where it will work.
The project is realized by Crimean Tatar Resource Center within the framework of Social Activism Program “Join Us!” financed by the USAID and implemented by Pact in Ukraine.

In 2023, 537 couples will undergo free infertility treatment, while in 2022, 467 families did so, the director of the Medical Services Department of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine Aleksandra Mashkevych said.
“The procedure is completely free of charge and guaranteed by the state. Of course, I can’t say that the procedure will be completely successful for all couples – it’s the kind of process where no one ever gives a 100% guarantee. But we have a 50% success rate of insemination”, – she said on the air of a telethon on Thursday.
Mashkevych said that couples can undergo the free procedure within the program in three medical centers managed by the Ministry of Health in Kiev, Ivano-Frankivsk and Kharkiv.
She specified that within the framework of the state program, the first procedure is free of charge. If it is not successful, the next attempts are made at the expense of the patients.
However, she noted that the Ministry of Health is planning to initiate changes in the state program, under which a greater number of attempts for women of certain categories should be free.
“We in the Ministry are working on it. The parliamentary committee of the nation’s health, medical care and health insurance is also actively involved. We hope that in the near future the law on assisted reproductive technologies, which will more deeply regulate the procedure of assisted reproductive technologies and make the procedure accessible to more of our citizens, will be published in the state,” – she said.
Mashkevych said that the average price of one attempt of artificial insemination may amount to 40-50 thousand hryvnias.
Ukraine will receive 300 million yen (equivalent to almost 80 million UAH) from Japan to buy medical equipment that will equip Ukrainian hospitals with modern medical equipment, particularly endoscopes, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers said.
“The Government of Ukraine has approved the draft Agency Agreement on the implementation of the Japanese grant aid. The agreement will be concluded between the Government of Ukraine and the company Crown Agents Japan Ltd”, – reported on the government portal.
Grant assistance in the amount of 300 million Japanese yen (the equivalent of almost 80 million UAH) is provided for the purchase of special equipment (endoscopes) for Ukrainian medical institutions, according to the press service.
“The health care system is one of the most affected by the war – the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation has put a great strain on it. This is due not only to the mass systematic destruction of medical facilities, but also to the growing demand for certain types of medical care and services that were not previously a priority. Already now, 177 health care facilities have been completely destroyed, with 1,433 damaged. We are working not just to restore the damaged, but to rebuild better,” said Health Minister Viktor Lyashko, quoted by the press service.
According to him, for more than a year, Ukraine together with its partners manages to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of hospitals even near the front lines.
“Despite the shelling and the challenges faced by the Ukrainian healthcare system, with the support of international partners we are restoring the medical infrastructure, and the best equipment continues to appear in our hospitals. A grant from Japan will provide even more Ukrainian doctors and hospitals with modern medical equipment, which will make quality medical care more accessible to Ukrainian patients. We are very grateful for such a strong shoulder of help at a difficult time for us,” the minister said.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, during the coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey laid the crown of St. Edward upon the head of King Charles III of Great Britain.
After the crown touched the monarch’s head, the guests of the ceremony followed the archbishop in shouting, “God save the king!” Gun salutes began throughout the kingdom.
Charles III will now be enthroned, after which the archbishop, clergy and Prince William of Wales will swear allegiance to him. Those present in the abbey will also be able to take the oath of allegiance to the king. British television viewers will also have the opportunity to do so, which has become an innovation.
Next will be the coronation of Queen Consort Camilla.
Charles III is the 40th reigning monarch to be crowned in Westminster Abbey since 1066.
