On June 22, the Serhiy Prytula Foundation, together with blogger Igor Lachenkov, began raising money for three Bayraktar attack drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Prytula set a goal to raise more than UAH 500 million or $15 million in a week. However, even a large amount - UAH 600 million was collected in three days.
