At the meeting with the mayor Oleksandr Markushyn popular Ukrainian singer Olia Tsybulska stated that she wants to join the reconstruction of Irpin. 

She said: “I am not a stranger to Irpin, because I love this city, my parents live here. They moved to Irpin three years ago. I lived through everything that happened here, and I know about the occupation, and I thank you for helping to keep my parents alive.”

The singer’s parents were evacuated along with other people. Olya admitted that now Irpin hurts her as much as its residents. And she asked what she could do to help.

“Practically my entire team of communal services, executive committee and many deputies fought – they stayed with me in Irpin and defended Irpin. And now we are rebuilding it with this whole team. The number one task is reconstruction”- claimed Oleksandr Markushyn, Irpin city mayor.

He told that the city has created a special Fund for the restoration of Irpin, where funds are raised for the reconstruction of destroyed and damaged objects. Olia Tsybulska liked the transparent operation of the fund, and that here they do not spend the money of benefactors on the maintenance of the fund itself, while in others, up to 20% of the income is taken for such needs.

“We show: a million has arrived, here are these receipts; we spent – and there is a result. Is that fair? And we took zero to the fund. Zero. And we will be among the first to show the audit of the entire fund”- said Oleksandr Markushyn.

Olia Tsybulska admitted that she was impressed by the results of such work and offered to become a media ambassador for the Irpin Restoration Fund:

“I am ready to join such transparent and clean schemes, because I also encountered a large number of foundations that invite us to charity performances, and when you ask for documentation, they say: “We will transfer it somewhere”.

Olya said that now she and the team will develop plans so that her help is effective. And at the end of the meeting, she left her autograph on the flag of Irpen – among the numerous signatures of distinguished guests of the city.

We will remind that the lead singer of the band “Druha Rika” Valery Kharchyshyn, People’s Artist of Ukraine Oleksandr Ponomariov, poet and musician Kolia Serga and rapper Yarmak have already become media ambassadors of the Irpin Restoration Fund; as well as Ukrainian writer Serhiy Zhadan, choreographer Oleksii Surovtsev and “simple guys from YouTube” Bumper and Sus.
