On the morning of Wednesday, September 16, a Russian attack completely destroyed a warehouse belonging to the Olena Zelenska Foundation in Kyiv. The warehouse burned down completely.

Humanitarian aid lost
"The warehouse held humanitarian aid that the Foundation had purchased and received from partners for delivery to children, families and institutions in various regions of Ukraine according to their needs," the statement said.
The destroyed supplies included generators, household appliances, laptops, tablets, e-readers, medical equipment and much more. No one was injured in the attack.
"All this aid had a specific purpose: to support children’s education and the work of educational institutions and hospitals, and to help families in various regions of Ukraine," the foundation said.
Delivery delays and changes to logistics
