Barbra Streisand is better known for crooning pop ballads than as the face of a fundraiser for explosive kamikaze drones. But when she agreed to help procure medical aid for President Zelensky’s initiative last September, she soon found herself part of a celebrity network resisting the Kremlin war machine.

It counts Star Wars’ Mark Hamill, the Chelsea football legend Andriy Shevchenko, Netflix Vikings’ star Katheryn Winnick, the heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk and the Balenciaga creative director Demna among its wide range of ambassadors.
