Certificates and keys from a one-room flat were handed to them by the City Mayor Vadim Boichenko and the Head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration Alexander Kuts.
The living space was purchased under the state program for the amount of UAH 7.5 million. It was given to orphans aged from 18 to 23. All of them were in a housing list.
