A Ukrainian girl sent this drawing to soldiers on the front line in Donbas



Rough Translation: “From the depth of our hearts, we would like to wish you strong health, many smiles despite this difficult situation,” the Ukrainian child writes. “And also we would like to thank you for protecting this country.”

Children get right to the heart of it when they draw people! I love this! I’m sure the soldier will keep it forever!
