The award will be given to territorial communities whose residents massively provide humanitarian assistance and other types of aid to front-line, occupied, and de-occupied communities.
Additional criteria for the award include participation in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities and other significant support for the country’s independence.
The community will be awarded a statuette with a case and a commemorative plaque.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, two related awards have been in effect for populated areas:

- the ‘City-Savior’ award, which 12 European cities have received for massively accepting Ukrainian refugees.
