The fighting for Toretsk in Donetsk region has been going on since the summer of 2024. Despite constant shelling and enemy attacks, the defense forces continue to put up a worthy fight. The civilian population and the community administration were forced to leave the places where their homes once stood, which turned into ruins due to the actions of the occupiers.
The Ruzhyn community of Zhytomyr region is a partner of the Toretsk city military-civilian administration in the national project “Side by Side: United Communities”. It has lent a shoulder of support by providing shelter for the families of the Toretsk community. In addition to creating living conditions, it is also extremely important to ensure the educational process for schoolchildren from Donetsk region.
So that children are in school on time and receive the necessary knowledge, the Toretsk community has donated the Ruzhyn school bus. This will also help children adapt faster and more comfortably in a new environment.
The battles are being fought for every centimeter of the territory of the Torets community. But it finds resources to also stand side by side. To help, to unite, to act.
Ukrainians once again demonstrate to the whole world their solidarity and support for each other in the most difficult times.
