"Christmas Express is a project of Ukrzaliznytsia. In the last week of December, the train carried 1600 passengers with children. Among them were children of the military, as well as killed and wounded railroad workers. On the platform, passengers were greeted by a fabulous retro steam-powered train. An entertainment program with animators, sweets and gifts awaited them in the cars.
"30% of the places were provided free of charge to military children from the communities where the Foundation operates. In particular, from Myronivka, Kaharlyk and Baryshivka. Despite the air raid, Christmas activities and gift giving took place on schedule. We are grateful to Ukrzaliznytsia for the initiative and the opportunity to join in creating New Year and Christmas magic for children," the charity foundation said.
As a reminder, Ukrainian children received more than 50 thousand gifts from MHP-Hromada for the New Year holidays.
