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. Currently, emergency crews continue to repair the damage.

Destroyed Russian equipment will soon be available for a closer look. The Museum of Bomber Aviation in Poltava is preparing an exhibition of trophies. 

Today, the team of the AUI “Active Community” is scheduled to meet with the head of the public organization “Interaction” to discuss plans for July to conduct joint art therapy activities for families of internally displaced persons.

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.

Khmilnyk and Khmilnytskyi region

Air-raid alarms have been sounded for the past 24 hours

The past day in the Khmilnytsky community was relatively calm. Utilities operate normally, provide electricity and water, and remove garbage from the streets.

Khmelnytsky Oblast

Khmelnytskyi

The situation in the city and oblast is under control

A woman from Khmelnytsky, who was detained by the Security Service of Ukraine, was suspected of treason. In April officers from the Khmelnytsky Oblast Security Service of Ukraine exposed and detained a local woman who was assisting the occupiers. For a monetary reward, she collected and handed over intelligence to a representative of the special services of the Russian Federation, in particular about the location of military units and enterprises in the oblast that work for Ukroboronprom. The malefactor was also engaged in anti-Ukrainian agitation and propaganda.

The Regional Oblast Administration continues to work with philanthropists to provide units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with vehicles. Therefore, two more Mitsubishi SUVs from the Heart of the Ukrainian Nation Charitable Foundation were handed over to the soldiers of one of the military units of the Khmelnytsky oblast with the assistance of the oblast military administration.

These vehicles have been serviced and painted, and in addition, volunteers have filled the bodies with 200 packets of dry rations, which will be useful to soldiers during combat missions.

Volunteers donated a house to the family of the deceased defender of Mariupol, who comes from the Khmelnytsky oblast. The American organization “August Mission” raised money for the purchase of a house in just 4 days. They have been cooperating with the Podillya Volunteers Charitable Foundation since March.

In Khmelnytsky on the central Proskurivska, it was forbidden to turn on background music in the open areas of cafes, restaurants and other establishments.

The mayor announced that gas and gasoline are on sale at almost all gas stations. Diesel fuel is expected in the evening.

Since the beginning of the year, private carriers of the community have been asking the City Council to increase tariffs. The figures sounded 17-18 hryvnias. However, today there are already calculations of the fare taking into account the increase in fuel prices. This is 10 hryvnias. The issue is planned to be submitted to the session of the city council. The community also operates public transport with the involvement of comfortable buses transferred from the Polish city of Kalisz, where the fare is currently unchanged – 5 UAH.

The artist of the orchestra of the Honored Academic Zakarpattia Folk Choir Timea Fabian returned from the front line. And immediately hurried to her native choir class, where later a spontaneous decision was born: to perform with the team. No rehearsals were held. Although the last time Timea held the violin was almost six months ago.
