Pie Kongresu nama izveidots Ukrainas “Nesalaužamības punkts” - līdzīgs kā Ukrainas pilsētās izveidotie “Nesalaužamības punkti”, kuros iedzīvotāji var sasildīties, uzlādēt sakaru ierīces, uzvārīt ūdeni un uzsildīt ēdienu. ♨️
Līdz 25. februārim ikviens aicināts ziedot Ukrainas atbalstam energosistēmu atjaunošanai un uzturēšanai.
Kopš Krievijas uzsāktā pilna mēroga agresijas kara pret Ukrainu 🇺🇦 Latvijas valsts ir ziedojusi aptuveni 993 milj. eiro un sabiedrība - aptuveni 75 milj. eiro Ukrainas atbalstam. Pateicamies par iedzīvotāju atbalstu 🇺🇦 jau līdz šim 🙏
