Shelling of infrastructure > donations to the Armed Forces of Ukraine almost doubled - in October alone, Ukrainians transferred 1.5 ₴ billion to United24, Turn back alive and to the Prytuli Foundation - Aroged

During the days of massive shelling of civilian infrastructure by Russians, Ukrainians correctly converted their rage, namely, they more actively supported the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is confirmed by statistics – in October alone, donations to three popular charitable foundations of the country – United24, “Turn back alive” and “Prituli Foundation” – amounted to 1.5 billion hryvnia, according to OpenDataBot.

The largest revenues were recorded on the United24 platform, where, among others, a collection initiated by the president for a fleet of marine drones is now taking place. Over the six months of the platform’s operation, more than UAH 6.8 billion have been transferred to the accounts of the NBU.

Ukrainians transferred 83% of the funds or UAH 5.6 billion to the accounts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. UAH 745 million, or 11% of the total amount, was received into the account for medical assistance, while only UAH 429 million, or 6% of the amount of receipts, fell on humanitarian aid.

More money was donated in July — UAH 2.24 billion. The main surge in the volume of receipts falls on the week from 04 to 10 July. Then the Ukrainians donated UAH 1.86 billion, which is 83% of all July receipts. This probably happened after the tragedy with the shelling of a shopping center in Kremenchug.

In August and September, on average, Ukrainians donated UAH 90 million per week.

After the first big bombing of the energy infrastructure from October 10 to 16, the amount of donations increased by 36% in a week. Shelling next week increased support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces by 2.8 times — by UAH 251 million.
