The leaders of the UAF presented children with necessary items and chatted with their doctors and caregivers. "The greatest pain of war against Russian fascists is the tears of Ukrainian children, especially orphans who have lost their parents or been abandoned. These children need kind words, smiles, and care. It's a joy to help them and their caregivers with essential items and gifts. I am always captivated and infinitely grateful to doctors and carers who dedicate their lives to caring for such children. The humanitarian hub of the UAF is honored to support their good cause," said Andriy Pavelko.
