During the Fastiv Forum on Unity and Security Solutions, the initiative to create a socio-cultural complex called “Platform of Unity” was discussed. This would be a space for continuous work on uniting Ukrainian society.
One of the key elements of the initiative is the reconstruction of the Fastiv railway station complex and rethinking its role as a space for communication, historical memory, and modern dialogue.
The forum participants emphasized that in wartime, any management, infrastructure, and social decisions must be made with security in mind—whether the decision enhances security or creates additional risks.
The event featured five panel discussions with the participation of representatives of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, state authorities, local self-government, the scientific community, public organizations, international partners, and experts in the fields of security, culture, and restoration.
The discussions culminated in the signing of a Declaration of Unity—a joint position of the forum participants, representatives of government bodies, and diplomatic missions on the need to consolidate efforts to rebuild the Fastiv railway station and create the Platform of Unity socio-cultural complex.
Among the initiators and participants of the forum were People’s Deputy Oleg Dunda, Deputy Minister of Social Policy Ilona Gavronska, representatives of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, V. M. Korets Institute of State and Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, National Institute for Strategic Studies, World Congress of Ukrainians, Association of Ukrainian Lawyers, diplomatic missions, and experts in the fields of security, culture, and reconstruction.
