The Veselivka starosta-headed district was the most affected (a cultural center, a kindergarten, a school, and private houses).
Today, the community actively helps the Armed Forces: they weave camouflage nets, make trenches candles and meals, and hold fairs where funds are raised for the needs of soldiers.
