The founder of Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson, met with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, in Kyiv on Monday. Branson became the new ambassador of UNITED24, the official fundraising platform in Ukraine, CNN reports.

Zelensky thanked Brunson for supporting the country during the war, saying that “it is very important that famous and influential personalities continue to join this platform. One of our key tasks is to keep the world’s attention on Russia’s war against Ukraine, which has been going on for over a year now.”

Branson told Zelensky that on the way to Kyiv, he stopped in Lviv and met several soldiers, including one “who lost both arms and a leg, but was still smiling and positive and wanted to return to the front line.”

Earlier, Branson was in Buchi near Kyiv with the American philanthropist Howard Buffett, supporting the construction of a kitchen that will help feed children in educational institutions. The kitchen will help the communities of Buchi, Nemishaevo and Borodyanka.

“More than 10,000 hot meals will be prepared here for our children every day. Also, with the support of Mr. Howard, another similar building will be built in the Kharkiv region,” Mayor Fedoruk said on Telegram on Monday.

This is not the first time that Branson goes to Ukraine. In June, he also met with Zelenskyi.
