The two hundred and seventy-fourth day (274) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues.
About us: The Active Community initiative was launched by the activists of the Institute Respublica after the Euromaidan (2014), which focused on activating and involving Ukrainians in the decision-making process. The goal for 2025 is to activate and involve at least 1% of the citizens in decision-making and promoting reforms in Ukraine on a systematic basis for the well-being of the Ukrainian communities. Today we work in the 30 communities of Ukraine.

In Mariupol, another jump in mortality has been recorded. Hospital sources report that the number of deaths per week has increased by 1.5 times. 232 deaths were recorded against the average level of 150.

In the Starobilsk community, the occupiers continue to search apartments, aiming for two goals. First, they look for vacant houses to move into or rob. Secondly, the increase in the number of checkpoints did not help in the search for deserters, because their number is increasing every day.
