In the city Amsterdam presented his drawings in Mykola Kostenko, a survivor of the bombing of Mariupol, and moved to Kropyvnytskyi

In the city hall of Amsterdam, Netherlands, an exhibition titled 'War Diaries: Unheard Voices of Ukrainian Children' has been opened. The exhibition showcases the stories of fourteen young Ukrainians who have experienced the consequences of the Russian aggression. During the exhibition, the feelings conveyed through a series of drawings were shared by Mykola Kostenko. The 21-year-old spent 21 days in Mariupol, a city surrounded by Russian occupiers, enduring constant shelling and bombardment. After that, he managed to leave for Kropyvnytskyi with his mother, where they found refuge with a family that was fleeing the war. This information was provided by the Kirovohrad Regional State Administration.

Previously, the anniversary of the 'YaMariupol' center was celebrated in Kropyvnytskyi. Over the course of a year, 'YaMariupol' has become not only a center of assistance for internally displaced people but also a hub for various events for both Mariupol residents and displaced individuals from other cities. Overall, in the center's one-year operation, nearly 27,000 humanitarian kits were distributed, 654 legal consultations were provided, over 3,000 medical assistance services were given, and 1,213 psychological support services were provided, addressing 81% of the job placement needs for Mariupol residents.

We also reported that an orchestra from Mariupol performed in Kryvyi Rih. As part of the celebration of Kryvyi Rih's 248th founding anniversary, a concert by the chamber orchestra 'Renaissance' took place, representing the Mariupol Chamber Philharmonic. The orchestra is led by the Honored Artist of Ukraine, Vasil Kriachok. The musicians performed works from the Baroque era and foreign classics such as Vivaldi, Mozart, Miller, Gardel, Boccherini, as well as pieces by the prominent Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk.
