Many thanks to all those who lit the “Light for Ukraine” with us yesterday outside the Ukrainian Embassy. We would also like to thank all those who did so in their homes. In the evening we were joined by Andriy Deshchytsya, the Ukrainian Ambassador in Poland. He received a candle and our assurance that we will not forget and will never get complacent about this war.

We are also still doing everything we can to support the victims of war. We exchange the income from the candles for the products that are most needed today in the cities caught up in the fighting. Cleaning products, warm clothes, sleeping bags and, above all, food. Today, another shipment is leaving for Mykolaiv.

See you outside the Ukrainian Embassy next week! Slava Ukraini!
