“The residents of the village turned to help the guests from the DPR, they asked how best to do it. The staff of the Kornis village administration of the Znaur district decided to organize a fundraiser, which was used to purchase a lot of stationery for children from Donbass, as well as chess, puzzles, etc. The gifts have already been given to the children,” Tskhovrebova said.
