More than UAH 105 million was raised to support Ukraine’s air defense during the Atlas Festival, which took place in Kyiv over three days and welcomed over 70,000 visitors, both locals and guests of the city.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“Kyiv hosted the large-scale Atlas Festival. Over three days, more than 70,000 people attended. The event featured 100 artists performing on six stages, and 77 organizations working toward our victory were represented,” Tkachenko said.
He thanked the organizers for adhering to the safety recommendations provided by the city’s military administration. On Friday, several performances were interrupted by air raid alerts, and attendees were able to safely shelter in prepared locations.
Tkachenko also expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to the charity fundraiser “Dronefall,” organized by the festival in collaboration with the Come Back Alive Foundation. The initiative raised over UAH 105 million to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities.
“Events like this offer not only cultural value but also tangible results: there will be far fewer Russian drones in our skies,” Tkachenko said.
The 10th Atlas Festival was held in Kyiv from July 18 to 20.
