WARSAW, 08 January 2023, (TON): Filled with sadness and hopes of a victorious 2023, hundreds of Ukrainian refugees celebrated their first Christmas since fleeing the Russian invasion at a contemporary theater in Warsaw.

The celebrants at the Nowy Teatr, a former truck repair workshop, were among the 1.5 million Ukrainians who have settled in Poland since the war began the highest number for any country.

Almost all were women as most Ukrainian men of recruitment age are not allowed to leave.
