Meest Presents the One United Fundraiser (Єдинозбір) 2026 Tour Across North America

Meest is proud to present the One United Fundraiser (Єдинозбір) 2026 Tour, an eight-city fundraising and community engagement initiative taking place across Canada and the United States. Organized by the Ukrainian World Congress in partnership with the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation and the 412th Nemesis Brigade, the tour brings frontline Ukrainian military leadership and civil society representatives directly to North American audiences.

As a long-standing bridge between Ukraine and the global Ukrainian diaspora, Meest is honored to support this initiative, which is dedicated to protecting civilians and critical infrastructure in Ukraine amid ongoing mass Shahed drone attacks.

Held in partnership with Saint Javelin, the One United Fundraiser Tour creates a unique space for direct, in-person dialogue about modern warfare, volunteer mobilization, and the urgent need for advanced defensive technologies. Each event connects communities with those who are actively defending Ukraine on the frontlines today.

The One United Fundraiser campaign aims to raise 1 billion Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH)—approximately $23–24 million USD at current exchange rates—to fund smart drone interceptor systems and other critical equipment that save lives, protect cities, and keep Ukraine’s energy and civilian infrastructure operational. Nearly 198 million UAH (approximately $4.5–4.7 million USD) has already been raised in Ukraine, and organizers are now calling on North American communities to help reach this vital goal.
