Beckham donates £ 1M to Ukrainian children

Former England international David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham have launched a fundraiser with UNICEF to help war-torn Ukrainian children.

According to Report, the official, who currently owns the US club Inter Miami, made the due statement on his Instagram account.

The couple has already paid an initial £ 1 million ($ 1.3 million) for the campaign.

Beckham called on everyone to support his initiative and help the youngest citizens of Ukraine:

"Mothers forced to flee with their children. Families torn apart. Children taken from their beds to become refugees overnight. As the conflict in Ukraine enters its second week, the needs of families are escalating, and 7.5m children are now at risk. My 7 Fund for UNICEF is setting up an Emergency Appeal to help provide immediate aid to support children's wellbeing, including medical supplies and safe spaces for families. Please join me in supporting UNICEF in its vital work on the ground and give what you can."
