People took to social media en masse with complaints about connectivity and internet problems. The issues span multiple areas, including Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, Sumy, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Kropyvnytskyi, Chernihiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end.
