They had been collected by the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Service of Charity, which is led by Krajewski.

On Tuesday, Krajewski will embark on a tour of several Ukrainian cities attacked by Russian forces, including Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia and Odesa.

He told the Vatican News media outlet that "lorries with more much-needed gifts" would arrive in Ukraine from Poland on Tuesday.

It is Krajewski’s fifth humanitarian aid mission in Ukraine since the start of Russia’s invasion on February 24.
