The two hundred-seventeenth (217) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military invasion continues.

About 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.

Northern oblasts

Kyiv

According to the counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), the hostile henchwoman is an official of one of the capital's Administrative Services Centers, who created her own fake account on the social network after the start of the full-scale invasion. She urged Ukrainians to seize state power and campaigned to support the occupation groups of Russia, and also justified the crimes of the invaders. Currently, the detainee has been notified of suspicion under five articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The court chose a measure of restraint for her in the form of detention.

In the Solomianskyi district of the capital, Piterska Street was renamed London Street.

This is a pilot project in Zhytomyr, but not the last one: "Real stories of five real Zhytomyr residents of different genders, ages and fields of activity. The common thing for all the heroes is that the war caught them in Zhytomyr," said Anna Yeriomenko.

The community of Poltava Oblast refused to carry out de-russification. In Orzhytsa, local deputies decided that they would not de-russify the names of a number of streets, and rejected the activists' proposal at their own discretion. The situation is similar in the Zavodske community. There, the local authorities refused to carry out de-russification and announced that they had renamed Zhovtneva [October] Street to Druzhby Narodov [People's Friendship] Street. Such names, in their opinion, do not remind of the historical past associated with russia.

Poltava rescuers handed over to the military part of 20 metal stoves for heating rooms and cooking food.
