The Ukrainian winners of this year’s Eurovision festival announced that they sold their trophy for US$900,000. The funds will go towards the purchase of drones for the Ukrainian military.
Kalush Orchestra was awarded the crystal microphone trophy earlier this month after winning this year’s contest, beating out competition from top rivals in the UK and Spain.
The winning bid for the trophy was awarded to WhiteBIT, a cryptocurrency exchange. WhiteBIT said the aim of the online auction was to raise one million euros (about R$5 million) to buy three PD-2 drones for the Ukrainian armed forces.
“You are amazing,” the folk rap group wrote on Instagram.
“We are grateful to each and every one of you who donated funds for this auction and especially grateful to the @whitebit_ua team who purchased the trophy for $900,000.”
The band will also tour Europe to raise funds for the needs of Ukraine’s army and charitable foundations, band leader Oleg Psyuk said earlier this month.
