Serhiy Prytula's fund raised $6.4 million and will be able to buy 60 Spartan armored vehicles instead of the planned 50 units

It took Serhiy Prytula's Charitable Foundation less than two days to raise the money to buy a batch of British Spartan armored vehicles.

Here's What We Know

The fundraiser started on November 2 at 10:00 a.m. (EET). The goal is to raise ₴200 million ($5.42 million) to buy 50 tracked armored vehicles. By 13:00 (EDT) or 10:00 (PDT) that same day, the charity was able to raise exactly half of the needed amount.

In yesterday's post, we wrote, not unreasonably, that ₴200 million would be raised well before the deadline (November 8). As a result, in just over a day Ukrainians transferred the required amount to the Foundation's accounts, and by 13:00 (EDT) or 10:00 (PDT) on November 3, the charity raised ₴236 million ($6.4 million).

₴36 million (~$1 million) will be spent on additional batch of armored vehicles. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive not 50, but 60 British Spartan armored vehicles at once.
