Crowdfunding rebuilds Ukraine one click at a time

Kyiv – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday launched a global crowdfunding platform to help Kyiv win the war with Russia and rebuild the country’s infrastructure.

“In one click, you can donate funds to protect our defenders, to save our civilians and to rebuild Ukraine,” Zelensky said in English in a video on his Twitter page, launching the United24 platform.

“Every donation matters for victory.”

Nine weeks into Russia’s invasion, Ukrainian cities have suffered vast destruction.

“All funds will be transferred to the national bank of Ukraine,” Zelensky said, indicating that his government would give an update “every 24 hours” about how the money was being used. “Only together we can rebuild what Russia has destroyed.” –
