Christmas tree set up in center of Odesa to support prisoners of war

On December 15, during the action “Don't be silent. Captivity Kills”, a Christmas tree decorated with balls with call signs of captured and missing defenders was set up.

This was reported by an Ukrinform correspondent.

Relatives and friends of the prisoners of war gathered on Deribasovskaya Street and set up a Christmas tree next to the main Christmas tree in support of their loved ones in Russian captivity. Instead of gifts, they put weapons under the tree and replaced the star with a symbic cage.

“Today we are hding a New Year's event, we have set up a small Christmas tree decorated by the children of the prisoners. There are toys with call signs on them, reminding us of Azov. We want to remind society that hidays are not for everyone. Instead of a star, the Christmas tree is decorated with a cage symbizing captivity. The big, lush Christmas tree standing in the middle of Deribasovskaya Street is there because our Heroes are hding back the Russian invasion at the front. We all have to be the voices of the prisoners,” emphasized Anna Pozhera, organizer of the action, head of the NGO ‘Heart of Odesa in captivity’.
