An orchard is to be planted by Ukrainian refugees in Caerphilly to show their enduring gratitude to the Welsh people who warmly opened their hearts and homes following the Russian invasion.

A special event for the Ukrainian Gratitude Orchard will take place this Saturday (January 27) at Morgan Jones Park, marking the 2nd anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022 and fighting has continued with no end in sight causing thousands of deaths on both sides of the conflict.
