The residents of Ivan Honty Street in Brovary have been struggling to restore peace in their homes for over a year, but the situation continues to worsen.

SubscribeTheir main source of concern is large Romani families who, according to neighbors, behave aggressively, disturb the peace, engage in car racing, and are even linked to drug activities.
People told "Tribuna-Brovary" that the conditions in their homes are unsanitary, and children do not attend school or kindergarten.
Conflicts with neighbors have escalated to physical fights on multiple occasions. This summer, three Romani individuals assaulted a veteran of the Territorial Defense with the callsign "Bear," leaving him with severe head injuries. The man now requires an expensive eye surgery. The attackers have been detained by the police, but they are currently under investigation, and no one knows how this will end.

However, this is not the only issue on the street. One neighbor, an elderly man named Alexander, has been forced to leave his home due to constant pressure from the Roma and now lives on a bench outside the prosecutor's office. Neighbors say he is afraid to return, fearing for his life:
"I told him to go sleep at home; at least there's a roof over his head, but he's scared. He says that if he leaves, the Roma will kill him and bury him," – shared a local resident.
In August, residents reached out to the mayor with a collective letter. In response, a commission was established to investigate the living conditions of the Roma, documented violations, and gave them two weeks to make corrections. However, since then, no changes have occurred, and the situation has only deteriorated. The Roma broke doors and windows in their home, sold radiators for scrap metal, and are now cooking food in the yard over an open fire. The street is once again filled with screams, fights, and threats.
"What is happening in our city? What is going on with our law enforcement agencies? And the mayor, looking us in the eye, promised to take this issue under his control back in August, but there have been no actions from him," – complain the residents of the street, no longer knowing where to turn for help.
