Amid this situation, as the people still continue to make some preparations for a bittersweet Christmas, a group of schoolchildren is also making their best efforts to help bring a smile to the faces of their peers.

A video of the same has been shared on Instagram as well where an ABC journalist, Britt Clennett recently visited a makeshift shelter and met a group of Ukrainian schoolchildren.

As stated in the video, the kids were engaged in making Christmas ornaments for their trees ahead of the festival and quite excitedly shared their preparations with the journalist.
