This was reported by the Voice of America.
He sent the money to the charity Spirit of America.
"I have never seen anything like it in my life. Millions of refugees are trying to leave the country, and this is an extremely difficult situation for this country. I think we should support Ukraine in this struggle. Itʼs a very difficult fight for them, "said Howard Buffett.
He visited Ukraine last week and even met with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Buffett was encouraged to join the reconstruction of Ukraine and invest in various projects.
