In his nightly address on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Zelensky announced an initiative called UNITED24.
UNITED24 was launched as the main venue for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine, according to its website and Zelensky. Funds will be transferred to the official accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and allocated by assigned ministries to cover the most pressing needs, the website says.
The first ambassador of the brand is Andriy Shevchenko, a prominent Ukrainian soccer player and coach.
“The state needs this platform right now, which allows to raise funds to support Ukraine. Anyone in the world — in one click — can contribute to our victory,” Zelensky said.
The first event in support of UNITED24 will take place on June 8, he said. It will be a charity evening auction in London.
