75About us: The “Active Community” initiative was launched by activists of the “Republika” Institute after the Euromaidan (2014), which focused on the activation and involvement of Ukrainians in the decision-making process. The goal for 2025: to activate and involve at least 1% of citizens in making decisions and promoting reforms in Ukraine on a systematic basis for the well-being of Ukrainian communities. Today we work in 30 communities in Ukraine.
The two hundred thirty-second (232) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military invasion continues.
Northern oblasts
Kyiv Oblast
Today, around 5 am, the russians launched an attack on the Kyiv Oblast. In the Makariv community, three strikes by enemy kamikaze drones on an infrastructure facility were recorded. This caused a fire. There are no victims or injured.

A beehive mined by the russian military was found at an apiary in the village of Babyntsi of the Bucha community.

The occupiers replaced the grenade pins with English pins and connected the grenades and the lid of the beehive with nylon thread. The mining was discovered by the beehive owner, who came to the apiary from Nemishaieve. The grenades did not detonate. Sappers defused the explosives.

In the village of Buzova, russian tanks were shooting at houses at close range. One damaged five-story building will be dismantled. Two other houses have been repaired.
The use of power tools and mopeds has been banned in Velyka Dymerka. Their sounds can be easily confused with the enemy’s dangerous flying vehicles used to attack the capital region.
Zhytomyr Oblast
In Zhytomyr, they said goodbye to Vitaliy Lobov and Maksym Yevpak. Vitaliy Lobov was born in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and in 2014 he joined the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to defend Ukraine.

Windows damaged by the blast wave from a russian missile strike are being replaced in three educational institutions in Zhytomyr. In total, about three dozen windows have to be replaced. Currently, the lyceum is eliminating the consequences of the missile strike on its own, but they plan to turn to the Oblast Council for help.
A soldier from the Zhytomyr Oblast, who lost an arm, got married right in the hospital. 22-year-old Serhiy Kostiuchenko, having suffered a serious injury, decided to leave his beloved in order not to be a burden for her.

Donetsk Oblast
In some areas of hostilities, in particular, in the Donetsk Oblast, russian units began to receive orders from the top leadership to temporarily stop offensive actions. According to the General Staff, the main reason for this decision is the extremely low moral and psychological condition of the recruits, numerous cases of desertion among the mobilized and non-compliance with combat orders.

In Slovyansk, rubble in destroyed high-rise buildings began to be dismantled. This will allow to carry out an examination of the technical condition of the buildings and make a decision on the possibility of their restoration.

Mariupol
The occupiers created a plan to rebuild Mariupol by 2035. This is a profanation and an attempt to cover up war crimes, because this plan has no social component. The document has no vision of the future and is viable only in the very short term.
The occupiers illegally seized the facilities of the Ukrainian enterprise in Mariupol. Now they plan to resume neon production. The INGAZ enterprise, which had unique equipment in Mariupol for the production of neon, has currently been stolen by the russians. Oleksandr Katsyuba, the representative of the company, informed about this.
