Children from the Ukrainian town of Bucha near Kyiv will come to spend some of the summer in Palanga, a coastal town in Lithuania, according to Mayor Šarūnas Vaitkus.
“On the initiative of the Palanga municipality, children from Bucha will have rest in our resort this summer. We recently visited Bucha and agreed with the local mayor that Palanga could host five seven-day shifts,” the Palanga mayor told a press conference on Wednesday.
Around 100 Ukrainian children, who have lost their parents, and accompanying adults will come to the Lithuanian coastal resort, he said.
“We would fully pay for their accommodation, fully support them, provide meals, organise entertainment,” he said.
