A warming centre is being run by the Ukrainian Red Cross in Poltava

Poltava is currently facing severe electricity shortages amid extreme cold. Volunteers from the Ukrainian Red Cross emergency response team in the Poltava region have set up a warming centre for local residents. Here, anyone can warm up, enjoy a hot drink, recharge their mobile phones, and rest safely.

The centre also hosts mine risk instructors who provide guidance on the dangers of explosive remnants of war, as well as consultants offering advice on health promotion and disease prevention.

We stand by those in need!
