Children came for a self-defence demonstration at a police station in Odessa while their parents received medical aid from the charity Unicef.
Ukrainian troops, meanwhile, trained at a mall car park.
The youngsters were shown the demonstration in the southern city of Odessa, as the war with Russia rages on.
They were shown the weapon and learned about how to protect themselves, the role of the police and traffic rules.
Their parents received humanitarian aid from the charity Unicef and about vaccination from polio.

It comes after 300,000 Ukrainians we left without power, following a wave of Russian strikes yesterday that left 1.5million experiencing blackouts.
Russian drone strikes in the port city of Odesa left a staggering 1.5million people without electricity on Saturday and thousands more without access to water.
Ukrainian officials confirmed that this number has fallen to 300,000 as the nation works to get its energy grid back up and running.
