“Very important trip.

I managed to visit the St. Nicholas Church in Stakhanov, congratulate the kids of Donbass on the upcoming New Year and visit our heroes undergoing rehabilitation at the Lugansk multidisciplinary hospital,” she wrote on Telegram.

According to her, the team is "doing a little New Year's miracle."

“Thanks to the participants and partners of the League and the Island of Forts projects in Kronstadt, we were able to hold 35 New Year's performances and deliver more than 110,000 gifts for the kids,” Shoigu said.

She also posted photos taken during the trip.
