Memorandum of Cooperation

25.6.2022

On June 24, Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Lubny City Council of the Lubny District of Poltava Region.

February 24, 2022 changed the lives of all Ukrainians, because they were forced to face the onslaught of Russian aggression. Our university not only became an exception, but also one of the first to suffer the traces of a full-scale invasion of Russia. However, Shevchenko’s spirit did not allow the university to break down and it is again looking for ways to survive. Thus, the university management decided to locate structural subdivisions in the Poltava region, in particular in the cities of Poltava, Lubny and Myrhorod.

Thus, on June 9, 2022, the Agreement on Cooperation between Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University and Myrhorod City Council was signed, and yesterday, June 24, a solemn event was held to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation between Luhansk Taras Shevchenko Natinal University and Lubny City Council.
