Winner of Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Tony, Golden Globe and Peabody awards, Barbra Streisand became the ambassador of UNITED24! She will focus her efforts on the direction of "Medical assistance".
Streisand discussed the details of cooperation during an online call with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
Streisand's grandparents emigrated to the United States from Ukraine. She admits that she feels a strong connection with Ukrainians:
Since I am of Jewish origin with Ukrainian roots, I am especially moved by the struggle of Ukrainians for freedom. The resilience and courage of the Ukrainian people have become a real inspiration for everyone who works to preserve democracy and fight against authoritarianism. You and your country have my full support.
