Joulupukki TV’s film drone is now protecting Ukrainian children from the sky<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last weeks, dozens of Finnish amateurs and video production companies donated their film drones to the Ukrainian military and civil defense effort. Joulupukki TV was enthusiastic to take part, donating a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom drone along with its field equipment to Ukrainians in distress.<\/p>\n

“This drone was used as recently as this past winter, filming Santa Claus and travel videos. Now this faithful servant of ours has gained new life by protecting children, women and the elderly in the Ukrainian skies,” says Joulupukki TV CEO Tommi Lappalainen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

150 second hand quality power banks now bring light to Ukraine in war<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, the company has gathered, among other things, 150 pieces of 10 000 – 28 000 mAh backup power provided with chargers and cables. These power banks were bought from Finland’s Red Cross “Kontti” sales point of second hand objects in Rovaniemi (75 were paid by Joulupukki TV, and 75 by the friends of firm’s CEO Tommi Lappalainen: totally 750 \u20ac for Red Cross Finland).\u00a0 The battery packs, originally abandoned by tourists in Rovaniemi Airport, now bring light and comfort to Ukrainians.\u00a0 Most of the cables and chargers for the batteries are donated by local hotels and people in Rovaniemi or bought in sponsored price from second hand shops in Rovaniemi. The goods have been delivered to Ukraine via the Ukrainian community in Rovaniemi (Stand with Ukraine Rovaniemi campaign<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Lappalainen says that after an economically challenging pandemic, many northern Finnish tourism entrepreneurs and employees have a tight financial situation. So in addition to monetary donations to charities, one effective way to help is by donating useful lightly-used items. Besides drones and backup power supplies, there is an acute shortage of equipment in Ukraine such as sleeping bags, backpacks, bandages, mobile phone charging cables, dry food, LED flashlights, high-topped men’s shoes, thermal mugs, alkaline batteries and more.<\/p>\n

Joulupukki TV has also been helping Lapland’s Ukranian community with Rovaniemi’s peace concert of 27.03.2022, where Eurovision song contest winner Lordi and Santa Claus were supporting Ukraine in war.<\/p>\n
