Cat Stepan from Kharkiv raised ten thousand dollars to help animals in Ukraine. This is stated on his Instagram page. "Thank you for your kindness and support, we managed to raise $ 10,035. Thanks to your support, we will be able to provide decent care and treatment for every animal in Ukraine," the statement says.
