Ruslan Panchyshyn<\/strong> and Anatolii Shalaiev<\/strong> introduced guests to the \u201cDrop of Life \u2013 Blood Solidarity\u201d<\/strong> initiative, led by the \u041c\u0456\u0436\u043d\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0446\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0440 \u00ab\u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0456\u043c\u00bb \u0443 \u0412\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0456\u0439 \u0411\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457<\/strong>, which encourages Ukrainians living in the UK to register as blood donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They also highlighted that donated blood is urgently needed in Ukraine. Ukrainians and British citizens who visit Ukraine can also consider donating blood there and helping to save lives, provided they meet the relevant medical and eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the event, donations were also collected in support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was another powerful reminder that, even thousands of miles from home, the Ukrainian community remains united and deeply committed to supporting its country.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t A special thank you to Yaroslav Tymchyshyn<\/strong> and Oleksii Serohin<\/strong> for their cooperation and for the warm welcome at the Bolton Ukrainian Cultural Centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stronger together! \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7\ud83e\udd1d\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #UkrainianHouseUK #BloodSolidarity #NationalLotteryCommunityFund #GiveBlood #SupportUkraine #SlavaUkraini<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Festive Atmosphere The day was filled with live performances, traditional songs and dancing, creating a true sense of warmth and unity.
