Asmongold continued: “I wanna say also and it’s okay because OTK as a group together, I wanna let you guys know it’s not just me, but it’s also been Nick and Malena that have raised over $100,000 by themselves.
“So collectively all together guys, OTK has raised over half a million dollars for Ukraine.”
