66About 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.

Northern Oblasts
Kyivska Oblast
Pablo Gana Quesada, Chargé d’Affaires of Spain in Ukraine, and Javier Fuentes Leja, Counselor of the Spanish Embassy, visited Irpin. The Spaniards came to Irpen with a specific goal – to collect as much information as possible about the destroyed objects, to study the needs of the city for help in its restoration. Mobile information centers continued their work this week. People were consulted in Borodyanka, Dymer and Gostomel. Specialists provided explanations to the residents of the communities regarding topical issues. Most often, people need advice on the correct processing of compensation for destroyed or lost property, receiving social benefits, on the algorithm for the restoration and reconstruction of the housing stock, the registration procedure, the deployment of modular towns and obtaining a place in them for temporary residence.
Demining continues. Over the past day, pyrotechnicians neutralized 351 explosive objects. And for the entire time – almost 48 thousand such items.
A beaten and mined dog was found near Makarov. He was lying in a pit with garbage, the zoo patrol said. People wanted to take it out, but they noticed a mine nearby. His inability to walk saved him from death. It is not known how long he lay in the pit. Sappers demined it and handed it over to animal rights activists.
Zhytomyr Oblast
Representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue the interaction of defense headquarters at all levels. In Zhytomyr, they said goodbye to serviceman Serhiy Chekhovsky, who died while performing a combat mission. The man went to defend Ukraine from the first days of the full-scale war.
The Zhytomyr court sentenced in absentia a militant of the self-proclaimed “DPR” who was exchanged for hostages to 12 years in prison.
People are massively discussing shelling in Kharkiv and a possible attack from Belarus.
The deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, visited the lyceum and residential buildings damaged by rocket attacks in Zhytomyr.

During the day, populated areas were under enemy fire: the city of Avdiivka, the villages of Zhelanne, Vozdvizhenka. The police documented the war crimes of the russia (Article 438 of the Criminal Code – violation of the laws and customs of war).
The troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine repulsed the enemy. Representatives of the local security forces patrolled the Pokrovsk community.
The past day in the Pokrovsk community was relatively calm. No facts were recorded regarding casualties and damage caused by shelling on the territory of the community. According to the information of the State Service for Emergency Situations, there were no emergency incidents on the territory of the Pokrovsk community, there were no applications for processing explosive objects or fires.
Elderly people are emotionally vulnerable and panic easily. That is why the Pokrovsky Department of Social Protection of the Population has been thinking about psychological training for wards since the beginning of the war, and now these trainings are actively being conducted.

During the past day, the occupiers opened fire with all available types of weapons in Privill, Lysychansk, Vovchoyarivka, Zolotarivka, Loskutivka, Verkhnyokamyanka, and Bilogorivka. Private houses in the villages are burning one after the other, very high density of shelling. Burns simultaneously in several places. Rescuers barely have time to put out large-scale fires in Lysychansk. Like in an apartment building, where the flames spread to several apartments. Or in the shopping center – if the fire on the area of 1,800 square meters was not extinguished in time, it is difficult to imagine the consequences.
