Fundraising campaign in Ukraine: Tesla and Lego sets as prizes for drone program donors

Ahead of June 17, 2026, the Ukrainian Telegram channels Лачен пише and Бавовна △ are reporting on the final stage of a fundraising campaign aimed at purchasing drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The campaign, characterized by a distinct patriotic stance and support for President Zelenskyy, offers donors a chance to win valuable prizes.

According to the report on Лачен пише, which adopts a clear propaganda line against Russia and Putin, a minimum donation of 100 hryvnias gives participants a chance to win a Tesla Model 3 vehicle, ten handheld vacuum cleaners, and Lego sets. The channel notes that the addition of Lego sets to the prizes has increased the number of potential winners to 17.

The main message conveyed by the organizers, as also published on Бавовна △, is that the funds are being collected for the purpose of purchasing offensive assets: "All funds are going toward drones that will blow up Russians." Both channels invite the public who have not yet donated to join the raffle, which will be held tomorrow.

The campaign reflects the dynamics of civilian efforts in Ukraine to raise funds while using consumer incentives to increase the volume of donations. As of today, the reports have received tens of thousands of views among the local target audience.
