When Chicago artist Joe Trupia decided to use his talents to raise money for the humanitarian disaster in Ukraine, he settled on the twin symbols of the country’s resistance: Volodymyr Zelensky and molotov cocktails.
The owner of custom Lego design studio Citizen Brick in Chicago created figures of the Ukrainian president, in his trademark military green t-shirt and stubble, and the homemade explosive that has become synonymous with the war effort.
Mr Trupia’s creations sold out in less than 24 hours, raising more than $145,000 for Direct Relief, which is providing medial supplies for Ukraine.

..."“I just felt that I had to act using what I had,” Mr Trupia told the Washington Post.
Mr Trupia said he had felt compelled to help after being inspired by the Ukrainian president’s bravery in the face of the all-out Russian assault."
