Elon Musk will help establish murals in memory of the deceased Ukrainian


Famous American entrepreneur Elon Musk decided to contribute to the creation of murals in memory of the deceased Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who was tragically killed in the metro in the USA. This information was disclosed by the well-known businessman on his social media profile.



The idea of establishing such art objects was proposed by Irish-American entrepreneur Eoghan McCabe. He took the initiative and decided to allocate $500,000 in the form of grants of $10,000 each for artists who will create murals depicting Zarutska in significant locations in US cities. According to Elon Musk's comment, he also promised to direct $1 million to this project.


Recently, in Charlotte, North Carolina, the murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, who arrived in the USA as a refugee from Ukraine, occurred. The tragedy took place on August 22, and the suspect in the crime is already in custody.
