A show by Ukrainian singer Max Barsky took place in Kyiv, where a charity raffle was held. The main prize was a boxing glove signed by Oleksandr Usyk. The raffle was conducted by the Oleksandr Usyk Charity Foundation.



Through the efforts of those present and the boxer’s charity fund, about 300 thousand hryvnias were raised. The collected funds are planned to be handed over for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to support the soldiers who protect the country every day.



The foundation representatives thanked everyone who contributed to the fundraising. They emphasized that every contribution is important and that together we can achieve more. Such events once again confirm that united Ukrainians can make a positive impact on change in the country.



At the pre-Christmas show of singer Max Barsky in the Sports Palace in Kyiv, there was a minor outage of lights and loud statements from the performer. This concert has become a topic of discussion on social media.



“The occupying authorities of Crimea have committed several hostile acts, announcing the confiscation of the property of Ukrainian athlete Oleksandr Usyk on the territory of the peninsula due to his support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”


It should be noted that Oleksandr Usyk refused the championship title of the World Boxing Organization in the heavyweight division, which led to his loss of the status of absolute champion in the heavyweight.



The event was successful not only as a musical event but also as a way to raise funds for charitable purposes. A large number of attendees helped raise a significant amount that will be used for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Events of this kind demonstrate that interaction and cooperation among citizens can lead to positive changes in society.
