«I have always thought of returning to Ukraine and becoming the town mayor». How the new generation wins the local elections

This year «new faces» — young and experienced people have won at the local elections in Ukraine. Some of them have been living successfully abroad or in a city. However, they’ve returned to their small hromadas to start their development. The public TV has told stories of the newly elected town mayors: Rostyslav Bortnyk – a just elected mayor of Berezhany, the Ternopil region; Oksana Pitsyk — the head of Smidynska AH in the Volyn region; Bohdan Kelichavyi – a newly elected mayor of Kopychyntsi, the Ternopil region.
