Ukraine is not the first place where techno parties are expected to take off after five months of Russian attacks.

However, 200 young people came to the northern town of Yahidne to show that the Ukrainian spirit was “invincible”.

DJ Oleksandr Buczynski installed a turbine on a pile of boxes, picked up the noise from the house, and volunteers removed the rubble from the cultural hall that was demolished in March.

Shovel in hand, I dumped a heap of debris onto the loader tractor. This is a small but important way to contribute to the gigantic recovery process.

“Volunteering is now my way of life,” said Tanya Brianowa, 26, an organizer with Cleaning Rave.

“I love electronic music and used to party, but now it’s wartime. We want to help and we are doing it with music.

“We miss (the party) and we want to return to normal life, but now our normal life is volunteering.”

Brianawa said the cleanup rave would bring together people who lost their nightclub community during the war and help them regain their normal feelings.

Yahidne was one of three villages in the Chenykhiv region liberated by Ukrainian troops in early April.

According to the prosecutor’s office, most of the 350 residents were housed in the basement of a 2,000-square-foot school where Russian troops set up their headquarters in March.

Among the hostages were elderly people, 77 children and 5 babies.

At least 10 elderly people have died due to lack of space, hygiene, clean air, food and water.

Resident Nina, who spent those horrific weeks in the cellar until the Russian troops withdrew, said she was grateful for the young people who came together to help the village get back on its feet.

“They have already repaired our windows, doors and entrances,” the 68-year-old man said.

“We couldn’t do it ourselves with salaries and pensions. Thank you for your help.”

Most of the volunteers are in their 20s and 30s and come from Kieu, which is about a two-hour drive away.

But others came from the western cities of Lviv and nearby Chernihiv.

Some foreign volunteers came from Portugal, the United States, Germany, etc.

Their next project is in the nearby town of Lukasifka, where the group will build 12 houses for those whose houses have been destroyed.
