We are pleased to welcome UNITED24 ambassadors, partners, donors and friends. Thanks to donors from 110 countries, the fundraising platform has raised $650 million for humanitarian and military needs since its inception. Reconstruction of residential buildings and educational and medical institutions. Naval and ground drones, humanitarian demining, and the situational awareness system of the Air Force of Ukraine. Cultural and sports diplomacy... All this is the UNITED24 platform.
The event was opened by the ideologist and founder of the project, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Two years ago, the idea was launched to unite as many people from different countries and continents as possible. Then, Ukrainians demonstrated our ability to unite and rally others to protect our country when necessary.
At the summit, ambassadors, program supervisors, and support recipients spoke about their achievements and plans. For example, Jerry Heil and Alyona Alyona donated the funds raised during the Eurovision tour to rebuild the Velykokostromsk gymnasium in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The summit guests witnessed the implementation of several projects firsthand, including the Sea Baby naval drone, ground-based robotic platforms, and a complete collection of Ukrainian architectural monuments constructed from LEGO parts. By the way, they will be at the Museum until June 2.
We are grateful to the UNITED24 team for the honor of hosting such an essential event for Ukraine. We are thankful to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Office of the President team, all involved Ministries, the Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine and the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, all ambassadors, including those who came in person: actor Misha Collins, astronaut Scott Kelly, President of the Ukrainian Association of Football Andriy Shevchenko, and football player Oleksandr Zinchenko. We want to thank the special guests of the event: directors Darius Marder and Doug Liman, producer Vasylisa Stepanenko, and historian Serhii Plokhy for their wise thoughts and decisive actions.
Together, we are bringing our Victory closer!
