Background
Following the start of the war in Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the country’s security situation deteriorated rapidly, the intense military escalation has resulted in loss of life and injuries, as well as massive destruction and damage to civilian infrastructure, interrupting critical services.
The Logistics Cluster was activated on 3 March 2023, and while initial Cluster coordination and information management capacity was established in the region across Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovakia, the central operational hub was established in Poland, from where common services were coordinated and facilitated. In May, the four hubs mainly focusing on coordination and information management were phased-out, while the Polish operational hub was phased-out on 31 August 2022. Common storage locations which were originally set up in Poland, as those inside Ukraine in Chernivtsi, Lviv, Ternopil, and Vinnytsia, were closed in favour of opening new warehouse facilities in strategic forward locations to serve the most hard-to-reach areas in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine.
To date the Logistics Cluster continues supporting organisations with coordination, information management and facilitation of access to common logistics services
