The host of the show Ebaut, Kateryna Motrych, announced a fundraiser for revenge for the death of actor and soldier, her husband Yurii Felipenko. The goal is to raise two million hryvnias.
Kateryna announced this on her Instagram page.
“I don’t feel useful or alive, I feel like nothing. But I really want to change that, because I love life and the people who give it to us. So today I’m opening a fundraiser for 2,000,000 UAH for revenge for Yurii’s death,” Motrych stated.
The main portion of the funds, one million hryvnias, will go to the 429th Separate Regiment of Unmanned Systems “Achilles”, where Yurii Felipenko served. Another 500,000 will go to the needs of the Kraken unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, and 500,000 more to the 412th Nemesis Regiment.
In less than a day, Ukrainians raised nearly 2.6 million hryvnias, so Kateryna changed the initial goal, increasing it to four million.
