Netflix Co-Founder Donates $2 Million to Aid Ukraine

This was reported by Deadline and Ukrinform.

In the US, the charity is run by American veterans, and in Ukraine it operates under the name Leleka-Ukraine. The organization has been active in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022.

The proceeds will go toward drone-jamming systems and other aid for frontline military medics, each costing up to $6,000.

White Stork is also the largest charity provider of individual first aid kits in Ukraine, having delivered more than 120,000 combat kits since the start of the war. The organisation also provides other vital items, including demining equipment, bulletproof blankets, trench shovels and body armour.

William McNulty, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and White Stork’s mission director, said, “The men and women fighting in Ukraine are not professional soldiers. They are civilians who have been drawn into this war for the survival of their nation. As veterans, we have witnessed the horrors of war and know how to deliver aid directly to the front lines. No middlemen, no words. Reed’s donation to support Ukraine means their survival.”

This is Hastings' second donation to support Ukraine. Two years ago, he gave $1 million to the charity Razom for Ukraine.

Earlier, Timothy Garton Ash, a British historian, journalist and writer, donated the $50,000 prize he received for his book to the needs of the Ukrainian military.
