Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Ukraine war: Czech crowdfunding buys 'Tomas the tank' for Ukraine
Crowdfunding is a way of raising money to finance projects and businesses. It harnesses the power of social networks and the internet to give people the means to raise funds for businesses, help others overcome hardship, and meet aspirational goals. The Russian leader would never have imagined that crowdfunding was used to buy a tank as a gift for him. A crowdfunding campaign called the “Gift for Putin” has raised millions of dollars to purchase weapons to fight against Russian troops in Ukraine. Recently, a Czech campaign raised over a million dollars to buy a modernized Soviet-era T-72 tank, named “Thomas,” which will be sent to Ukraine. What an irony! Organizers of the crowdfunding are continuing their efforts to raise more funds to provide Ukraine forces with other military essentials, such as drones, thermal clothing, bulletproof vests, and ammunitions. How much more gifts will Putin receive from the West?
Enjoy reading the article about the power of crowdfunding.
