American historian Timothy Snyder raises more than $1.2m for 'Shahed Catcher' for Ukraine

Last November, the American historian and Yale University professor Timothy Snyder became the new ambassador for the fundraising platform United24. And in that time he has already managed to raise money for The Checker Catch.

Here's What It Costs

According to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov on Telegram, $1,268,000 has been raised thanks to Timothy Snyder. A total of 11,278 people have donated to Checkhead Catchers through United24. American politician Hillary Clinton and Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari have also supported the collection.

"Six of these systems are already protecting Ukraine's energy facilities from Russian attacks. Thanks to Timothy's collection, we will buy more 'catchers'," said Fedorov.
