There my 20 hryvnias fly: Ukrainians responded memes to buy a satellite for the Armed Forces (photo)

Important for the army, buying immediately gave birth to memes, which draw parallels with "star wars" and joke over fellow countrymen who made a modest contribution to a big common cause. The news that Sergiy Pritula Charitable Foundation, in agreement with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, purchased a satellite and subscription to the Iceye satellite images database instantly provoked the appearance of many memes.

Pritula has a little recalculated by the famous Winston Churchill phrase, addressed to the Nazis: "We will beat with you on land, at sea, in the air, and now in space. " Many authors have the first association with the famous Space Saga Star Wars. Quite naturally, the hero of the memes became the shelter himself. Some authors have walked "Roscosmos". One of them was inspired by a viral roller on which a Russian woman is crying that she has to go from Crimea through explosions.

Another creator Mem was recalled one of the priority goals in the Crimea for the Armed Forces. Also ironically, the Russian vaccine from coronavirus was not wanted to use civilized countries. They also joked with countrymen who feel involved in a great deal, making modest contributions. Meanwhile, volunteers always emphasize that the amount of each particular contribution is not so important, the main thing in popular initiatives is mass.

We will remind, the satellite for the army was to be bought thanks to the project "People's Baracar". The raising of funds for drones started on June 22, it was planned to raise UAH 500 million. In three days, they announced the end of the fee, as Ukrainians sacrificed more than UAH 600 million on June 27, the Turkish company Baykar Makina announced the free transfer of UAV to Ukraine. Therefore, volunteers promised to think about how to spend money donated by Ukrainians.
