Second charity telethon in support of Ukraine to take place on May 29 in Berlin

On Sunday, May 29, at 20:00 CET the second charity telethon Save Ukraine ‒ #StopWar will start simultaneously in the capital cities of Germany and Ukraine. The purpose of the event is to draw the attention of the world community to the dramatic events taking place in Ukraine and to raise funds for the purchase of medical equipment for healthcare institutions that provide medical assistance to the wounded and injured, including the purchase of surgical C-arm X-ray machines. The fundraising will be conducted through the United24 global initiative. All donations will be automatically transferred to the accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine, assigned to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

The aim of the TV-marathon is to purchase devices for the hospitals in 12 regions closest to the war zone that participate in medical treatment of the wounded. For two medical facilities in every of the following regions – Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Poltava, Odessa, Kyiv Oblast and the city of Kyiv; and for one facility in every of the following regions – Chernihiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad Oblast.  

The cost of one device is about €100,000 which makes €1.9 million 900 for 19 of them.

It is symbolic that the event will take place specifically on May 29 — the Day of Kyiv, and will be dedicated to the brave Ukrainian resistance during the three months of indomitable struggle against the Russian Federation.
