In the wake of a damaging shelling incident in Belgorod, a public figure known for both her singing and television work, Olga Buzova, stepped forward with a message of support. She used her platform to express willingness to assist residents affected by the attack, signaling a commitment to provide real, practical help to those in need.
Buzova outlined plans to offer financial support to organizations dedicated to relief as well as direct aid to individuals impacted by the violence. She explained that she would be available to receive private messages detailing the specific kinds of help residents required. Her intention is to review these messages personally when possible and take concrete steps to address the problems raised by neighbors in distress.
She encouraged people not to hesitate or fear asking for assistance, emphasizing that reaching out for help is a positive act during difficult times. She affirmed a sense of shared experience, noting that everyone faces hardship at some point and that solidarity can ease burdens when communities suffer together.
According to Buzova, this charitable outreach marks a new level of public engagement, as she previously kept her philanthropic efforts less visible. With this campaign, she aims to foster unity and bring people together through her advocacy and promotional efforts, signaling a broader commitment to communal resilience in the region.
Earlier, the Belgorod regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported the first morning after the shelling that several residential buildings had sustained damage. He noted damage across 31 apartments in five buildings, along with a private house and four medical facilities. The impact extended to streets and vehicles, with twelve cars damaged and four destroyed by fire. A bullet also struck the fence of another private home. By the morning of March 23, authorities announced a missile danger in Belgorod, which was subsequently lifted during the night of March 24, marking a tense period of alert followed by gradual stabilization.
Earlier public appeals from influencers also called the community to come together. Ida Galich had urged followers to assist the residents of Belgorod in the wake of the shelling, highlighting the voluntary and collective response that has emerged around the city during this crisis.
