A Kazakh “yurt of invincibility” was installed in Kharkiv on the Day of Sobornost. This is the third yurt installed as part of the Ukrainian-Kazakh project. The initiative to install heating points in the form of Kazakh yurts belongs to People’s Deputy of Ukraine Serhii Nahorniak. The project is implemented with the support of Kazakh businessman Daulet Nurzhanov and representatives of the Kazakh diaspora in Ukraine. Such yurts play the role of “points of invincibility”, which were opened en masse in Ukraine during the war.
The building is located next to the Monument to Lovers near the “Architektor Beketov” metro station. Every day, the yurt will work as a heating point, where everyone can warm up, charge their phones and drink hot tea in the event of a power outage due to Russian shelling.
A yurt is a Kazakh portable frame dwelling with a felt covering, an ancient traditional dwelling of Turkic nomads, which is used in Ukraine as a heating point during blackouts from missile attacks.
A total of six such yurts are planned to be installed. The cities where the yurts will be installed are Bucha, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Odesa, as well as in the Cherkasy region, the city is still to be determined.
The idea and implementation of the project belong to the head of the interparliamentary friendship group “Ukraine-Kazakhstan”, People’s Deputy of Ukraine Serhii Nagorniak.
The project is implemented directly by the author of the project, People’s Deputy of Ukraine Nagorniak Serhii, with the support of Kazakh businessman Daulet Nurzhanov, the “Kazakh Diaspora of Ukraine” and local self-government bodies of the cities where the yurt is installed.
The yurt is located next to the Monument to Lovers near the metro station “Architektor Beketova”.
