Deputy Mayor Betina Beškina (Center) said the collection point at the refugee reception center has been relocated due to the number of people arriving. 

From tomorrow, donations should be left at district administration offices (see list below). 

"The people of Tallinn are very generous donators, and their support and warm welcome is very important for the Ukrainians, as some people have left their homes on the run, carrying only a bag with a few personal items," Beškina said.
