Stand Up for Ukraine event raised €10.1 billion
The event was aimed at prompting the political leaders and global celebrities to raise funds for Ukraine.
“The ‘Stand Up For Ukraine’ campaign has raised 9.1 billion euros for people fleeing bombs, inside and outside Ukraine, with an additional billion pledged by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development,” the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced.
Polish President Andrzej Duda joined the event while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined remotely.
A group of international celebrities, including Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, Alanis Morissette, Billie Eilish, Annie Lennox, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Bastile, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, Chris Rock and others showed their support for Ukraine on Saturday in a promotional video.
"I have so much admiration for our brave Ukrainian friends fighting against this. They are fighting our war. And once the bombs have stopped falling, we will help the people of Ukraine rebuild their country. We will continue to Stand up for Ukraine," Ursula von der Leyen stated.
"Ukrainian courage has already united the whole democratic world", Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized in his address.
We are immensely grateful to the whole world for joining the efforts to help us fight against the russian occupants and for the freedom and justice.

The US Senate has unanimously passed a law allowing President Joe Biden to use the lend-lease program that was last used during World War II to speed up the dispatch of military equipment and other supplies to Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.
The document, known as Ukraine's 2022 Lend-Lease Law on the Defense of Democracy, will speed up the transfer of important military equipment and other critical supplies to Ukraine by reducing bureaucratic red tape. It allows you to de facto donate equipment with provisions that mean that the recipient countries will pay their value to the United States later.
The lend-lease law passed by the Senate has yet to be considered by the House of Representatives, the lower house of the US Congress.
