New Austrian ambassador to Ukraine visits Lviv

Austria's Embassy in Ukraine reported the visit on the social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.

"Ambassador Robert Mueller, together with Social Affairs Attache Martin Muehlbacher, visited the center of integral care for women in crisis situations, 'Walnut House' Foundation in Lviv," the embassy said in a statement.

It added that the Ukrainian-Austrian partnership brings real change in supporting women in crisis.

Mueller visited Odesa earlier in May, shortly after assuming his post.

One of the first centers of its kind in Ukraine, Walnut House has been supporting women since 2010. Today, it operates as a social enterprise, which includes a bakery, a cafe-patisserie, and catering services, as well as a foundation that provides assistance to women in crisis.

Some 40% of the enterprise's profits are reinvested into the Foundation's programs, which help women gain social, psychological, and economic stability.
