Imperfect translation:

When in May last year, the Genesis Prize (a kind of Nobel prize in the Jewish world) named Barbra Streisand a laureate, she immediately distributed the million dollars owed to her among charities helping Ukraine $240 000, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health also received.

But the famous actress, singer and director were not limited to this. At her expense, several fully equipped life-mobiles have already been handed over to medical institutions in Ukraine. The other day, another, fourth-highest reanimobile from Streisand received an ambulance in Vyshgorod.

The explanation of such attention to Ukraine by a cult actress and singer is well-known in Berezhany Ternopil region. Streisand came here on purpose in 2015 to see for herself the places from where her grandparents, Issac and Anna, emigrated to the United States at the turn of the 19th-Twentieth centuries.

Barbra Streisand is called an icon of music and cinema. She is the only singer in the world whose compositions for 50 years appeared on the top of the Billboard 200 hit chart, from the 1960s to 2010.

Barbra Streisand began to emphasize her Ukrainian origin after February 24, 2022.
