Belarussian Lottery Raises Funds for Ukrainian Soldiers

Saratov Woman Organizes Lottery to Aid Ukrainian Soldiers A resident of Saratov, Belarus, is using a unique approach to support Ukrainian soldiers fighting in the conflict. She has organized a lottery with prizes including a flag signed by soldiers and a handmade wooden stand. Tickets are being sold for 100 rubles, with proceeds going directly to humanitarian aid efforts. "We're doing a front-line lottery," explains the organizer in her video. "All the money will go to the soldiers for humanitarian aid." The woman, who remains anonymous, expresses frustration with the complexities of official channels for providing aid, stating, "I just don't know what to do to get these damned applications processed." The lottery represents a grassroots effort to contribute to the humanitarian crisis. While the scale is small, it highlights the dedication of individuals to support the war effort in their own way. The winners will be selected in June using a randomizer.
