Details: The parcels were delivered by soldiers from the Bolharychi special-purpose company of the National Guard's 11th Brigade. They contained breakfast cereals, milk, educational games and toys.
The military said that, despite the Russian occupation, they continue to support residents of Kherson Oblast, particularly families with children who remain in the blockaded city of Oleshky.
Some of these children were born after Russia launched its full-scale invasion and have lived under Russian occupation from birth.
The National Guard thanked everyone involved in preparing and delivering the aid, including drone operators and the military personnel who provided cover during the operation.
