There will be neither festive rallies nor concerts in Bucha district on 23 and 24 August. Mass events here are cancelled indefinitely.

This is stated in a notice from Borodianka settlement council.

The ban has been in force since 24 July. It covers peaceful assemblies, rallies, marches and demonstrations.

The reasoning is simple and needs no explanation: people's safety under martial law. A crowd at a set time in a predictable place is a target.

Communities will announce separately when events resume.

The backdrop hardly favours celebrations either: an extreme fire danger level was declared across Kyiv region for 21–23 August.

As a reminder, mass events in the district were already limited in summer — no more than 50 people and a shelter nearby.
