Zinchenko, Stakhovsky and Dolgopolov communicated with the country’s citizens through social networks.
Ukrainian national team footballer and Manchester City Oleksandr Zinchenko appealed to Ukrainians and urged them to join in raising funds for the purchase of Bayraktars for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The required amount is UAH 500 million ($ 15 million), the period is one week.
But don’t let these large numbers scare you – remember the Lithuanians. It took them three days for a Bayraktar.
Now, remember that we are Ukrainians. Is there something we can’t do? ”Zinchenko wrote on his Instagram.

Former tennis players Sergei Stakhovsky and Alexander Dolgopolov also spoke to fellow citizens with a similar appeal. At the same time, both ex-athletes were in military uniform, but it is not known whether they volunteered or were in the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
Recall that earlier the Serhiy Prytula Volunteer Foundation and blogger Igor Lachin began raising $ 15 million for three Bayraktar drones.
