Despite the Russian occupation and the difficult conditions faced by the residents of the Kherson region, Ukrainian defenders continue to support the people.

This was reported by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Ivan Vyhivskyi, according to Censor.NET.

Over 600 kilograms of aid delivered

Members of the ‘Bolgarychi’ special-purpose company of the 11th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine used drones to deliver parcels to families with children. The parcels contained breakfast cereals, milk, educational games and toys. There were 15 parcels with a total weight of over 600 kilograms.

It is noted that among the children currently in the besieged town of Oleshky are some who were born during the full-scale war and have never known life without terror.

"We are supporting these families and delivering essential supplies to them. I would like to thank everyone who put these parcels together, operated the drones and provided cover. Everyone who, at the risk of their own lives, is helping Ukrainians in the occupied territory," added Vyhovskyi.
