During her visit, Tatiana Kirienko toured:

- The Front Office of the Integrated Social Services Center;
- The Rescue Assistance Center;
- The “Veteran's Single Window” service;

The main focus of the visit was on coordinating actions and uniting the ministry's efforts with local authorities and partners to avoid duplicating assistance programs and to ensure maximum effective support for vulnerable populations.
Tatiana Kirienko emphasized the importance of ensuring inclusion and accessibility of social services at all levels, which is a priority amid the wartime situation and post-war recovery of the country.
