During the meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyi, Richard Branson said that he admires the courage of the Ukrainian people and that he is honored to become the ambassador of United24.
“I look forward to using Virgin Unite’s global reach and networks to help support United24’s work for the people of Ukraine,” he said.
It should be noted that Richard Branson has consistently supported Ukraine since 2014. He stands for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state. Last year, after the liberation of Kyiv region from the Russian invaders, he came to Ukraine and visited Gostomel. There, he expressed his interest in restoring the Antonov Airport in Gostomel, which was destroyed as a result of hostilities and rocket attacks by the Russian invaders.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi thanked the billionaire for his position on supporting Ukraine during the war against the Russian aggressor.
“I am glad that you have decided to become a United24 ambassador. It is very important that new celebrities and influencers connect to this platform. One of the main tasks is to keep the world’s attention on Russia’s war against Ukraine, which has been going on for over a year. In addition, there are very specific issues on which we can work together,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
The President noted that one of the priorities today is the restoration of our country, its infrastructure, including the educational one. He also drew Branson’s attention to the problem of mass illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia and the need for pressure, in particular informational, on the aggressor state in this matter.
It will be recalled that earlier United24 ambassadors were actor Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars”) and American astronaut Scott Kelly.
