Today, March 14, is Ukrainian Volunteer Day. Back in 2017, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved the official holiday.
In the conditions of a full-scale war, the topic of volunteers has become even more important. One has only to recall how in the first days, lines of men and women lined up at military registration and enlistment offices, ready to take up arms to defend the country from the aggressor. Stars of Ukrainian show business also joined the ranks of volunteers. 24 Channel will tell you which famous people voluntarily joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
