Five big fundraisers were closed via UNITED24 within a month — 'Shaheed Hunters' with Timothy Snyder, the rebuilding of the Champion Stadium with Andriy Shevchenko, #LightUpUkraine for generators to power Ukrainian hospitals, and two parties of drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The key UNITED24 project in February was 'Strength. Ukrainian rock-solid'. Together with ARTEMSIL SE the platform presented a limited batch of the legendary 'ARTEMSIL.' 465 UAH from each pack will be used to buy drones for the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
