"Amulet of Ukraine": 1+1 media group presenters join the charity project of Olympic champion Oleg Verniaiev
On Thursday, 17 August, the Gulliver shopping mall will host a presentation of the charity project "Oberig Ukrainy".
The presentation will feature the first amulet bracelets and the opening of a photo exhibition featuring Ukrainian stars. Among them are representatives of the 1+1 media group, namely, the host of 1+1 Breakfast on 1+1 Ukraine TV channel, Yegor Gordeev, the host of Closer to the Stars on TET TV channel, Nikita Dobrynin, and the host of The Lost World on 2+2 TV channel and Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Gennadiy Popenko.
"My native Donetsk. A city of miners and indomitable people. Before the arrival of Russian troops in 2014, Donbass was the leader in the coal mining industry in Ukraine. In today's reality, most of the mines are under occupation, so there is a high probability that they will be flooded forever. I am confident that Ukrainian troops will liberate our territories from occupation. However, the consequences of war crimes will leave their mark for decades. Hundreds of thousands of families from Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts have lost their homes and need new housing. Coal, which fed Donbas before the war, has truly become a symbol of our region, so even small pieces of it in the hands of every Ukrainian can help," commented Oleg Verniaev, the project's ambassador.
100% of the proceeds from the sale of the amulets will be used to purchase houses in Kyiv region for temporarily displaced residents of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts who have lost their homes. The bracelets themselves contain up to 5 grams of coal mined by miners at a depth of more than 1,000 metres in Donetsk Oblast coal mines.
