10-year-old Ukrainian singer raises UAH 1.5 million for army with over 200 concerts

Espreso correspondent Mariia Naumenko spoke with the boy about his journey. It all started in 2022 when Serhii began performing songs to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Since then, he has held over 200 concerts and raised around 1.5 million hryvnias for the army.

Serhii and his parents have already raised funds for five vehicles, with the latest one sent to the front just three weeks ago. Despite this, the boy has already held five more concerts, raising another 20,000 hryvnias. His main goal, he says, is to help bring the war to an end.
