“# Twitter<\/a> users ask Ukrainian armed forces to start accepting crypto donations <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on multiple fronts, prompting a swift response from the Ukrainian government as it mobilized troops, armed civilians and called upon world leaders to come to its aid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The same day, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine began accepting donations for its armed forces by setting up a designated bank account for foreign currency wire transfers. The Ukrainian army cited<\/a> “numerous requests from individuals and legal entities who are not residents of Ukraine and wish to make donations.”\u00a0It app<\/a>ears one particular part of the memo caught the attention of social media users:<\/p>\n

“National legislation does not allow the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to use other payment systems (“Webmoney,” “Bitcoin,” “PayPal,” etc.)”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Crypto enthusiasts quickly took to the Ukrainian government’s Twitter account, where the link was posted, to ask for the acceptance of digital currency donations. For example, user TechLeakers wrote<\/a>: “Get a Bitcoin cryptocurrency address. So it will be accepted globally.” However, some also voiced their concern over the potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces accepting crypto donations, with MMusikwolf writing<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Do not donate crypto. The value fluctuates too much for it to be useful in this sense. [Fiat] Money has the highest liquidity of any asset and thus can be used fastest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But others, such as BiggieWhale, quickly pointed out<\/a> that stablecoin digital currencies such as USDT\u00a0are pegged to the U.S. dollar and therefore, theoretically, do not suffer the same degree of price volatility. At least one Ukrainian non-government organization, Come Back Alive, currently accepts<\/a> BTC donations, with the proceeds going to the Ukrainian Army.<\/p>\n

crypto donations could be helpful: its really easy, fast, cheap and secure
