Entrepreneurs are not afraid of resuming their work despite constant shelling. Twenty percent of market stalls reopened in Barabashovo Market. The legendary cook Amiran Tkemaladze, who has been cooking Georgian food in Barabashovo for 20 years, is also working. He took a two-week break after the start of the all-out war when a fire caused by the bombardment engulfed the market. But later, he came back to work.

In Kharkiv, police officers sheltered a cat rescued from North Saltivka, the most affected area of the city. Locals asked them to find shelter for the pet; owners left the cat behind while leaving the city to go abroad. The cat lived on a staircase of the apartment block until the neighbors gave it to the police. Osia is now living at the police station, waiting for its owners to return home.
