About us: The Active Community Initiative, launched by activists of the Respublika Institute after the Euromaidan (2014), focused on activating and involving Ukrainians in the decision-making process. The goal for 2025 is to activate and involve at least 1% of citizens in decision-making and promoting reforms in Ukraine on a systematic basis for the well-being of Ukrainian communities. Today we work in 30 communities in Ukraine.
Ukraine in brief:
Kirovohrad oblast
Kropyvnytskyi
The day in the community passed quietly, there were no air-raid alarms. In general, the situation in the community is calm and under control.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine guard the borders of the region and military facilities. Territorial defense fighters conducted tactical exercises and patrolled the city.
Andriy Raikovych, the head of the Kirovohrad Regional Military Military Administration, called on the leaders of the communities and territories not to stop arranging shelters and providing them with water, medicines, electricity and furniture. He also appealed to the residents of the region not to ignore the air-raid alarm and to stay in shelters during it.
Darya Lopatina, a choreographer from Kropyvnytskyi, united dancers in Ukraine and Europe in a patriotic flashmob.
Kropyvnytskyi athlete Ivan Bulych became the winner of an international tournament held in the Czech Republic. This is an international competition between clubs. There are no sports schools abroad, and competitions are held among clubs. There were a lot of athletes. The Ukrainian athlete won first place in the triple jump at the tournament in Prague. He showed a high result in the age category of 14-17 years. This was reported on the website of the athletics federation of the region, informs the media portal DOZOR.
The coordinator of the AUI “Active Community” provided the migrants who arrived in Kropyvnytskyi with consultations on obtaining documents on the status of an internally displaced person, as well as information on the available resources of employers of the regional center and surrounding communities.
Poltava oblast
On June 29 and 30, training shootings will take place on the territory of the Lubny community.
As a result of bad weather in Poltava region, 78 settlements were completely and 3 partially left without electricity. Many damages in Poltava due to falling branches and trees. 22 power lines and 343 transformer substations in the territory of the former Poltava, Karliv, Kozelshchyna, Lokhvytsia, Mashiv, Myrhorod, Novosanzharsk, Reshetyliv, Chutiv and Lubny districts were shut down.

Vinnytsia oblast
Zhmerynka
The enemy did not carry out any military operations on the territory of the community. In general, the situation in the community is calm.
Representatives of the Territorial Defense Forces patrolled key facilities.
The city council’s website published information about military assistance, but as it turned out, it was the help of volunteers, not the city council. Activists were outraged by the appropriation of their work and PR of the city authorities at the expense of volunteers, so the post was corrected with reference to the original source.
People have become more indifferent, they understand that the war has dragged on, it is harder to involve people in collecting aid.
The AUI “Active Community” Coordinator is preparing to conduct art therapy, which is scheduled for July 1.
