Presidents of European countries continue to come to Kyiv and express their support for Ukraine. In Tallinn, an action was organized against violence against Ukrainian women, putting bags on their heads and smearing them with red paint. Meanwhile, the regions of Ukraine affected by the Russian occupiers are receiving more and more humanitarian aid every day.
