Prez Zelensky met with UNITED24 ambassadors Andriy Shevchenko and Liev Schreiber; $ 169 947 084 were collected as part of initiative

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met with ambassadors of the United 24 fundraising platform – Ukrainian football star Andriy Shevchenko and American actor, screenwriter and producer Liev Schreiber, the president’s press office reported.

They came to Ukraine to prepare new UNITED24 projects, in particular the launch of a youth program, the first participants of which will be the children of Andriy Shevchenko and Liev Schreiber.

At the meeting, the parties discussed the interim results of the platform’s work and the collection of USD 170 million.

Volodymyr Zelensky noted that it is not only about the volume of charitable contributions, but also about the attention that the ambassadors draw to the topic of the war that Russia is waging in Ukraine. According to the President, the decrease in world attention to the events in our country is one of the main challenges today, as it affects the scale of international support, the pace of arms supply and the coverage of this topic in the media.

The guests also told the President about future projects of collaboration with global brands, which will be announced shortly.
