United24 fundraising platform raises nearly $310 mln this year – Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that over 13 billion hryvnias [almost $310 mln  -ed.] were raised through the United24 fundraising platform this year.

Zelensky wrote this on Telegram.

"In 2024, the United24 fundraising platform continued to unite people worldwide to support Ukraine.

Over 13 billion hryvnias were raised on the platform in total —a result made possible thanks to every help, big or small. This year, people from 137 countries supported us," the head of state informed.

According to him, thanks to the funds raised, Ukrainian defenders received:

• air and sea drones,
• robotic platforms,
• vehicles.

Medics received ambulances and life-saving equipment.

"You helped us rebuild homes, schools, bridges, and shelters. You helped save thousands of lives.

You are improving the world and enabling us to move forward. Thank you for supporting United24," the president noted.

For reference:

UNITED24 is a fundraising platform that allows foreigners to contribute and show their support for Ukraine through donations.

The UNITED24 platform was launched on May 5, 2022, at Zelensky's initiative. The project ambassadors are actors, directors, entrepreneurs, musicians, scientists, athletes, and even astronauts.

According to the report, the main building of the Slavutysk City Hospital in the Kyiv region is currently undergoing roof reconstruction. The project, which will be carried out using the fundraising platform UNITED24, will cost over UAH 16.3 million.

Moreover, in Mykolaiv, amid the ongoing full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, a new kindergarten has been opened, providing a safe haven for young children. From now on, almost 200 children will return to the educational process.
