Nine pictures of Sunderland showing its support for Ukraine over the pa photos showing how the generosity, spirit and love from Sunderland has helped in Ukraine
The first anniversary of the war in Ukraine is almost here.
It has been a year of so much conflict for the war-torn country but you, the people of Wearside, have tried your utmost to make a difference.
You have fundraised, collected much-needed clothes and blankets, sang and had your faces painted in support.
The Mackem spirit has shone through and here is a Sunderland Echo photo reminder of your generosity.
