How Dua Lipa helped the Ukrainian army

As reported, the funds were raised with the support of the Service95 platform, founded by Dua Lipa.

“The likelihood that Dua Lipa would help raise funds for a vehicle for our unit was not high… but it was never zero,” the battalion said.

“We thank Dua Lipa, Service95, and Driving Ukraine for this powerful pickup. It will help us carry out life-saving missions in the combat zone,” they added.

In the video, the soldiers showed the vehicle accompanied by one of the artist’s popular hits, “Levitating.”
