More than half of the residents have returned to the Snihurivka community: nearly 16,000 people now live there

As Ivan Kukhta, head of the Snihurivka Town Military Administration, told us in a comment, over 21,000 people lived in the community before the full-scale war. After the liberation, around 8–9,000 residents remained. There are now approximately 15,800 people in the community. Of these, 2,646 are children and 959 are internally displaced persons.

In other words, approximately 60–70% of the pre-war population has returned. At the same time, the situation remains unstable: some people are returning, while others are leaving again, particularly young people.

«The vast majority of people who wanted to return have already done so. Given that the community is about 18 kilometres from the front line, and Snihurivka itself is approximately 30 kilometres away, this is quite a good figure. I am grateful to the people for returning to their homes, restoring their dwellings and rebuilding their lives,» Ivan Kukhta told NikVesti.

As a reminder, the Snihurivka community has officially become a partner of the Danish municipality of Gentofte. A declaration of cooperation was signed by representatives of the community and a delegation from Denmark led by Mayor Michael Fenger.

As noted by the Association of Ukrainian Cities, the document provides for cooperation in the areas of municipal management, education, public services, security and civil protection. The Danish partners will share their experience, and representatives from Snihurivka will be able to undertake internships in Denmark as part of the TIPS4UA 2026 programme.

Ivan Kukhta, Head of the Snihurivka Town Military Administration, noted that such cooperation opens up new opportunities for the community to develop and implement European management standards.
