Children living in underground bunkers in Ukraine have experienced a “bit of Christmas cheer” after receiving gifts from a group of UK volunteers and being visited by an iconic children’s character.
On December 11, a group of independent volunteers from the UK set off to areas in Ukraine, including Irpin and Bucha, to provide children with gifts including crayons, cuddly toys and clothes in time for Saint Nicholas Day, which falls on December 19 and is celebrated in eastern Christian countries.
