24About 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-twentieth (220) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military invasion continues.
Northern oblasts

In Kyiv, today they called for the release of captured Ukrainian defenders. The action was organized by the families of prisoners of war of the military unit 3057 of the National Guard of Ukraine, which was permanently stationed in Mariupol.
A unique Combat Simulation Center has been created in the capital city: it is designed for training of combat pilots, and also for rehabilitation and retraining of wounded soldiers.

Also, by the end of this year, the local “Veselka” (Rainbow) kindergarten for 240 children should be operational in Hostomel. The institution was damaged by russian shelling. Currently, its roof has been repaired, and the heating and water supply systems are being replaced. The kindergarten will have a modern reliable shelter equipped according to all standards.
During the hostilities in the village of Buzova on Tsentralna Street, russian tanks fired at residential buildings. One high-rise building will be dismantled.

Zhytomyr Oblast
In Zhytomyr, the head of a charitable organization and his accomplice are accused of selling military equipment from humanitarian aid. Law enforcement officers have documented several such facts for a total amount of over 900 thousand hryvnias. Some of the unsold goods (a quadcopter, tactical backpacks, etc.) were found and seized during a search of the warehouse. In addition, the investigation established that the head of the charitable organization facilitated the illegal crossing of the state border of Ukraine by a 36-year-old local resident for a “reward” in the amount of USD 1,000. In particular, he made official documents on behalf of his organization, stating that this person was a driver of a car used for the transportation of humanitarian aid from abroad.
For more than ten years in a row, Zhytomyr has traditionally hosted the cross-country race “Polissia Autumn” in early October. Unlike previous ones, this year’s event is held for a charitable purpose. For participation in the 5- and 10-kilometer races, the athletes contributed a feasible amount to the box.

Despite strong promises, the occupation administration was unable to replace the gas network and boiler houses that they had damaged. Understanding this, the occupiers decided to calm down the residents somehow. So they brought four so-called mobile boiler houses, to which schools and kindergartens are promised to be connected.
The occupiers tell the residents of Mariupol that they will be recognized as collaborators if they receive humanitarian aid and work on rubble removal or construction, and therefore face up to 15 years in prison. This is a manipulation to intimidate the people of Mariupol and to prevent them from going to the controlled territories of Ukraine.
