Where do the funds come from?
Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, more than 66 billion hryvnias in equivalent have been collected on this account. The money came from Ukrainians — both ordinary citizens and businesses, as well as from foreign philanthropists. Among the countries that have joined are the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Poland and many others.
International support
The contribution of foreign partners is particularly impressive: more than 45.1 billion hryvnias in equivalent were received from abroad in the form of currency. These funds were an important resource for the country's defense during the war.
