Journalists Konstantin and Vlada Liberov shared this news on their Instagram. "This is the only way for them to feel something even remotely similar to a holiday there," the statement said. Soldiers packed the cakes tightly before sending them.

Then they hung them from an FPV drone, which dropped the holiday gift over the positions of the Ukrainian military.
