A Chicago-based artist has raised $145,000 so far for the aid effort in Ukraine by making a Lego-style figurine of the country’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky.
The mini-figure – by custom Lego creators Citizen Brick – went on sale with a price tag of $100 and quickly sold out.
Money raised is being donated to the charity Direct Relief, which has sent medical aid to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began.
Trupia, who owns the toy-manufacturing company Citizen Brick, started making miniature figurines in the likeness of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to raise money for the country.
“I just felt that I had to act using what I had,” Trupia said.
Since the Russian invasion began, countless stories have surfaced about people doing what they can to help Ukraine. Thousands booked Ukrainian Airbnbs to directly help those living through the war. A baker in Texas sold cheesecake to raise money for the Ukrainian army. In California, two kids propped up a lemonade stand.
Trupia’s creative way of helping came in the form of custom Lego figurines — an initiative that raised $145,388 for Direct Relief, an organization providing medical aid to Ukraine.
The whole of Europe is the target
The aim is to bring PRC into a strategic embrace of Russia – with a swap to Russian Gas via the Siberian Gas Pipelines.That will PERMANENTLY SOLVE THE OIL /ENERGY SECURITY OF PRC, AND THE RISK OF A NAVAL BLOCKADE IN THE SCS AND THE HORN OF AFRICA.
RUSSIA HAS ALL THE OIL/GAS/COAL,MINERALS AND RARE EARTHS THAT PRC NEEDS !
THAT WILL DRASTICALLY LOWER THE COST OF CHINESE MANUFACTURING + DESTROY EU MANUFACTURING & GERMAN MANUFACTURING, THERE WILL BE NO EU MANUFACTURING EXPORTS TO PRC,AND IT WILL CRASH THE EURO, & RUIN THE EU ECONOMIES WITH JOB LOSSES AND LOWER STANDARDS OF LIVING – & WILL CONVERT THE EU, INTO A 3 RD WORLD BLOCK – WHICH GERMANY & FRANCE,WILL NOT SUPPORT,AND HENCE ,THE EU WILL BREAK UP.
ONCE THERE IS NO EU – AND NO MONEY IN EU – THERE WILL BE NO NATO !
THAT IS THE PUTIN-XI PLAN – & SO,THEY WANT MORE SANCTIONS.HIGHER ENERGY AND MINERALS WILL PUSH PRC TO PUTIN & ALSO INCREASE, INFLATION IN THE EU. dindooohindoo
