For some reason, heaven takes away those who are most precious. Why does heaven take away the people closest to us — those whom we loved, valued, and did everything possible to help live a happy life?

They were the most precious and valuable people in our lives.

Yes, children! Our Ukrainian children, for whom we live and for whom our soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives.

Every child dreams of rest, recovery, and rehabilitation after the terrible years of war and hopes to receive a gift or a personal laptop — for studying, completing school assignments, personal development, and staying connected with friends.

Any gift brings happiness and joy to a child. We invite everyone to join this shared initiative, and we will do everything possible to make children's dreams come true.

For all of Ukraine, these have been years of pain, dealing with the consequences of the disaster, and honoring those who became part of this history.

More than 600,000 people were involved as emergency responders and liquidators; 2,293 Ukrainian cities and towns, with a population of approximately 2.6 million people, have been contaminated with radioactive nuclides; 200,000 square kilometers — this is the total area affected by radiation. Of these, 52,000 square kilometers are agricultural land. And what about today? Is everything alright? Has this catastrophe taught humanity across the world?

These are questions to which we still cannot give definite answers.

We continue to experience the consequences of the Chornobyl disaster.
