Donors from 110 countries join United24 initiative, raising over $274M
That’s according to an exclusive comment to Ukrinform by the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
"A key project that we believe in and that is also changing the course of the war right now is the United24 fundraising platform. This is actually a ‘single window’ for donations from charitable organizations, international partners, and citizens to support Ukraine. Since May, we have already raised more than $274 million," the report says.
The platform has already turned into a convenient tool for supporting Ukraine. The relevant ministries and defense forces, thanks to donations, purchase the necessary equipment for medics, rescuers, as well as the Ukrainian military, which defends our state.
Football legend Andriy Shevchenko, tennis star Elina Svitolina, iconic actress Barbara Streisand, as well as the Imagine Dragons band, American actor and director Liev Schreiber, NASA astronaut and record holder Scott Kelly have all become United24 ambassadors.
As reported, on May 5, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the launch of the United24 global initiative. Its first component is an online platform for raising funds in support of Ukraine.
