Save Ukraine — #StopWar
About the telethon
On Sunday, May 29, the second international charity telethon Save Ukraine — #StopWar will take place simultaneously in the capital cities of Germany and Ukraine. The purpose of the event remains the same — to draw the attention of the world community to the dramatic events taking place in Ukraine and to raise funds for the purchase of medical equipment for healthcare institutions that provide medical assistance to the wounded and injured during the war. The fundraising will be conducted through the United24 global initiative. All donations will be automatically transferred to the accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine, assigned to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. It is symbolic that the event will take place specifically on May 29 — the Day of Kyiv, and will be dedicated to the brave Ukrainian resistance during the three months of indomitable struggle against the Russian Federation. Kyiv is the heart of Ukraine and the capital of freedom, which has never been and cannot be conquered. That is why viewers all over the world must remember that this is the cradle of Europe and the place where our history began. The key messages of the project are #Stoprussia, #StandWithUkraine, #StopWar, #SaveUkraine, #BeBraveLikeUkraine, #CapitalOfBravePeople.
