Paintings by Ukrainian children will be on display as part of activities related to Milied Melliehi, to be held over the next few days leading to Christmas in the main square of Mellieha.

The paintings, which were brought over to Malta by PN whip Robert Cutajar, contain messages of peace and against war, and funds raised through their purchase will go to aid Ukrainian children.

The paintings will be on display in a special tent, set up in collaboration with the honorary consul of Ukraine in Malta, between 21 and 24 December.

The exhibition will be opened by Foreign Minister Ian Borg on Saturday at 7.15pm.
