Since the water supply problem in the city’s settlements has not been eliminated, the citizens were informed about the schedule of drinking water supply.
Emotional relief is very important for children who stay in the city. Therefore, an event was held in the city, where children could communicate with peers and make new friends. The parents of the children expressed their gratitude to the organizers of such an event.

Volnovakha
Today there was a solemn raising of the flag of the occupiers in the Olhyn community. Those who loved Ukraine the loudest (on display) rose. There were as many as 5 participants!
The people who were taken out for filtration five days ago have not been returned home yet. It is reported that they allegedly passed the filtration in Starobeshevo, and the occupiers have a weekend today and tomorrow. People were placed either in a dormitory or in a house of culture. It’s a piece of general information, and there is no accurate information. People are not allowed to return on their own, anyone is not allowed to call, people are not fed, and only tea is given. Locals were able to give people some food.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are fighting hard but bravely against the enemy. In the occupied territories, people are trying to believe that the occupiers will restore the gas and water supply. Nobody thinks about how. There is information that “specialists” came and took water samples in the Quarry and told people that water could be used in principle. People do not understand that their fate does not bother the occupying power at all. The general situation is extremely negative.
The AUI “Active Community” coordinator helped Mariupol residents to write applications for grant aid for educational purposes and lost property.

Southern oblasts
Kherson Oblast
The terrorism of the occupiers in the Oblast has reached the edge. The enemy continues to increase the number of equipment, bypass the territory and drive troops to defend. Russian passports have officially been distributed in the Kherson Oblast. So far, 25 people from Kherson have volunteered, mostly local collaborators. The introduction of russian rubles continues. Russians are constantly patrolling towns and villages. The number of checkpoints has increased. Residents are not released from the Oblast. During the last month, the occupiers are preparing for September 1st. Training should take place according to the new russian program.
The AFU are conducting a counteroffensive in the direction of the settlements of Kiselivka, Soldatske, and Oleksandrivka. The village of Tavriyske was completely liberated from the occupiers.
Skadovsk
The mayor of Skadovsk published the following news: “Another “holiday” took place in occupied Skadovsk on Friday, with more artists and security guards with weapons than spectators. The military, as usual, started tiling in the square. It is a pity for those who dance and sing to these songs and do not understand that they will always be forced to dance under the barrels of machine guns, even if the military is not in sight. There has never been such a thing in the history of Ukraine that russia cared about the cultural and spiritual development of Ukraine. Under the occupation, only repression against those who want to be Ukrainian and live in Ukraine is possible. Today, people who want to live in Ukraine and be Ukrainians are dying and disappearing in the occupied territories. Kidnappings, tortures, murders – all this is today’s reality. The hunt for people’s brains began. Access to information is blocked, disinformation is spread, and the idea is laid that it should be as it is so that people do not shoot. History teaches that if you give in now, you will definitely shoot at those who want to be Ukrainian. And they still wish us a peaceful sky over our heads, on which russian rockets fly over and over again, bringing death and destruction to Ukraine. Do not attend events organized by the occupying power under russian flags. There is nothing to do for those who want to live in Ukraine.”
People hold on, continue to oppose the introduction of the russian ruble in the Oblast, and volunteer. The situation remains critical. Sometimes the home Internet works. In Kherson, only six school principals agreed to work on russia’s education system, and another 71 protested. There is one russian pharmacy in Skadovsk. Banking institutions and terms do not work at all.
The coordinator of AUI “Active Community” is engaged in volunteering and helping the elderly with medicines.

The funds raised will be donated to purchase ambulances and personal hygiene products for the AFU.
Three hundred residents of Kropyvnytskyi are drying vegetables and greens for dry soups and borscht. Soups and borscht are sent to the military and residents of oblasts, who are forced to cook on the fire due to hostilities. The “Feed the Patriots” team develops recipes – traditional red borsch, green borsch, rice soup, oatmeal soup, wheat groats soup, and pea soup. The weight of one dry set of soup is half a kilogram, which is designed for 10-15 people. Every week they pack one and a half thousand packages. The kits are sent to the military and humanitarian aid to Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Kherson Oblasts for people living in areas affected by military aggression where there is no electricity, gas, where people cook just by the fire.
