By KYIV. Dec 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky thanked everyone who joins the LightUpUkraine campaign, which is designed to support fundraising around the world for the purchase of generators for Ukrainian hospitals, noting that such support is extremely important for Ukraine.
"On the longest night of 2022, over 60 of the most famous locations in the world turned off the lights in solidarity with our state and urged their visitors to join the fundraiser for generators for Ukrainian hospitals. Such support is extremely important to us. Thanks everyone who joins the #LightUpUkraine campaign!" Zelensky wrote on Telegram.
According to the president, when people stay without electricity for four, ten, twenty hours or even days, they begin to get used to the dark, and "this is the worst thing that can happen."
"This means that light is not the only thing they want to take away. It is an encroachment on every part of life. This is how we live in Ukraine now – defending ourselves from the enemy who has come to destroy us," he said and thanked all true friends of Ukraine.
