Just days after the Russian invasion began, the Ukrainian government authorized Aid for Ukraine.
Mykhailo Fedorov, vice prime minister and minister of digital transformation of Ukraine, tweeted his thanks today to those donating to crypto charity, saying: “Crypto for good. Aid for Ukraine continues its work for the frontline heroes: 200 sets of ballistic plates of 4 class for bulletproof vests have been sent. The better equipped soldiers — the sooner day of Ukrainian victory.”
Just days after the Russian invasion began, the Ukrainian government authorized Aid for Ukraine, a decentralized autonomous organization in collaboration with blockchain service Everstake and crypto trading firm FTX, to collect cryptocurrency for the defense effort.
The Ukrainian government had spent half of more than $100 million in crypto fundraising as of March 19, on thousands of bulletproof vests, food rations, helmets and medical supplies — deliberately choosing to spend the funds on non-lethal equipment, so as not to deter future donors, the FT said.
