  • $10m in 24 hours: Funds raised to buy kamikaze drones for Ukrainian troops

    About $10 million has been raised in the last 24 hours to acquire kamikaze drones for Ukrainian soldiers.

    The crowdfunding campaign, which was founded by Ukrainian activists Serhiy Prytula and Serhii Sternenko, was launched after Russian missiles rained down across cities in Ukraine on Monday.

    And in a statement on Twitter today, Mr Prytula said a total of $9.6m (£8.7m) had been raised so far to purchase additional weapons for Ukraine’s armed forces.

    In an interview with The Guardian, Mr Prytula said: “They wanted to scare us but we united even more.

    “Remember: never infuriate Ukrainians. Never. The people have donated for the revenge, so we will ensure the revenge happens.”
