Ukrainians sent a record amount of donations to the Armed Forces in June

In total, during the first six months of 2023, 8.35 billion hryvnias were received into the accounts of the three largest charitable funds in Ukraine - United24, "Come Back Alive," and the Serhiy Prytula Fund. This is 22% less than during the second half of 2022.

The majority of the funds transferred by Ukrainians to the United24 accounts were designated for the needs of the Armed Forces - 4.93 billion hryvnias, which accounts for 89% of all donations received by this platform. The remaining 11% were collected for medical assistance and the reconstruction of Ukraine - 0.45 billion hryvnias and 0.16 billion hryvnias, respectively.

Meanwhile, in June, United24 received 2.4 billion hryvnias for defense - an absolute record. Moreover, this amount represents nearly half of all donations for defense in the first half of the current year.
