Hello, Santa, my name is Nastia. I am 13 years old. I now live in Zaporizhzhia; before that, I lived in the village of Antonivka in the Zaporizhzhia region. I really want the war to end and to return home to my father, but I am very happy in this family where I have been for 5 years already. I would very much like a gift from you, please. For 2 years I have been dreaming of playing the guitar and I really want one. I will be very happy if you give it to me. Goodbye, Santa. I wish you a Happy New Year.

Hello, Santa, my name is Angelina, I am 7 years old, and now I live in Zaporizhzhia. Earlier I lived in the village of Antonivka in the Zaporizhzhia region. I really dream of a fitness ball.

Good afternoon, Santa! My name is Anita Kurbatov. I moved to the 4th grade and I study well. My mom and I moved to a nice village, but then a tragedy happened — my mom passed away. Now I live here with a family, I like it here, and may I please receive colored pencils.

Santa, I want to be as beautiful as my mom. I would like to ask you for children’s cosmetics with perfume.

Santa, I really want the war to end. And also, I would like to have Bluetooth headphones so I can listen to nice music and also study in online classes. I promise to behave well

I sincerely wish for the war in Ukraine to end as soon as possible with a just peace, for our country to be free, strong, and flourishing. For children’s laughter to be heard instead of explosions, and for flowers to bloom on our land instead of shells falling. May there be only clear skies and sunshine over Ukraine, and may every family once again feel peace and happiness. Everything will be Ukraine. And for myself, I would like over-ear wireless headphones.

Hello, dear Santa! This is Ramil writing to you. I love my country very much. And although we have war now, I believe that peace will come soon and Ukraine will flourish. I dream of a gift from you. Most of all, I would like to receive an Xbox One S with 1 terabyte or 2 terabytes to play with my friends. If that is too difficult, then I would be very happy with good speakers for my computer, because mine broke. Also, my monitor burned out, so I wouldn’t mind if you gave me a monitor or even a computer. I am eagerly waiting for your gifts! Thank you, Santa

Kind Santa, my name is Ulyana Oleksandrivna. I would like you to give me winter boots and candies. Shoe size 35–36, insole 23 cm

Kind Santa, I wish for all children to have homes and not to get sick. I want Zaporizhzhia to flourish. For myself, I would like a Hot Wheels Porsche G11 car, preferably blue or black. Also, an Audi RS7 from Autoexpert.

Hello! My dear and beloved Santa! This year I didn’t even think about anything material for myself. I only thought about the soldiers who this year will not be with their loved ones or children. Some children will celebrate this holiday without their parents, and some will not be able to celebrate at all because they died during the aggression of our fierce enemy. All I want this year is just one thing — peace, kindness, happiness, and most importantly warmth for all of Ukraine. Strength and equipment for our Armed Forces of Ukraine. Goodness, health, peaceful skies, happiness, and well-being. I want to see my father, who is at war.

Santa! Throughout the whole year I have been an obedient boy, helped my mother around the house, and studied diligently. I know that you are a magician who performs many miracles. I hope you will not refuse my request to fulfill my wish. I really want the war to end and for all children and people to be happy. And personally, for myself for the holiday, I would like to receive dumbbells for sports, a soccer ball, a bicycle, and wireless headphones. But all of this is not necessary. Denys, 10 years old
