What do you think about this recent development?
Some people see this as an attempt to incentivize more donations, but some others are of the opinion that if you donate, you should do so without expecting anything in return, even if it was promised. Opinions?

Yes, we donate out of our concern for the people and country of Ukraine without expecting anything in return.
In my opinion, this NFT made by Ukraine seems to have a bad impact, why is it that the donations used should be
channeled to affected people such as civilians or injured people or medical equipment instead they want to find ways to get more donations through NFT that they made.
Forgive my thoughts if I'm wrong, is this a war technique, so that from the concern of the cryptocurrency community, Ukraine can raise funds for the war to avenge Russia? This is what makes me think it would be better to donate to a charity in Ukraine where all the funds used are audited properly or donors go directly to help people who really need it. I hate war, may peace come soon.

I don't understand what he's thinking but it seems like gradually, it will become a hidden business to get people to donate. Why did they make the NFT if only to support the Ukrainian army? Instead of making NFTs, they should focus on providing support to the army and the people by distributing donations in the form of food, drinks, shelter or anything else useful for the Ukrainian people.

They don't need the NFT to support their soldiers or people yet. What they need now is how to stop the war that is going on and make sure the people and soldiers can continue surviving the invasion. Perhaps many would be disappointed if they continued with their plan to create an NFT to support their army. I don't know. It seems to have turned into a political and business affair. But I am glad the airdrop was canceled because that is not the point for the donations.

Yes, there is no point in conducting airdrop now, the country is not in that position now.And so I am very glad that a lot of people from all over the world are helping my country. I also hope that all the money raised will be spent as intended.

Your country is in crisis in terms of funds and money to support your daily needs and I think if there are many donations from other people to your country it's better to distribute it with your citizens who need help because of this war against your country and Russia..
For sure other people who donated your country sis not aim for return cause if you donated something to other you should not aiming for more return cause it's will come by the other way.

I think have other source donation coming to Ukraine exactly from Europe country helped them with medical and other thing, maybe between Ukraine and Russia need solution how to stop this war and make condition back to all without make many people as victim, between Russia and Ukraine president need to be friendly each other not worry who first ask apology because will be better than keep asking donation or right now Ukraine make new airdrop donation with cryptocurrency, looks funny when war crisis Ukraine government not finding way how to stop war but only have ideas with open airdrop donation.

I also feel that this is something they are doing to increase donations even more. indirectly, this may be a support from the country for the development of blockchain. I think most people who participate are also aware that they will only invest in this. Well, Ukraine is still hit by international problems, thinking about airdrops, or something like that, it's still hard to understand.
however, based on the news, they managed to attract more donors, I just hope this can have a positive impact for the country.

Actually the positive impact of crypto is both sides. Russia will use crypto to deal with sanctions after being threatened to leave the swift system.
However, and by all mens, i still find it hard to understand how Ukraine thought about running an airdrop. Honestly i was likely thinking about some NFTs that may provide help for donating.

Not really surprised if the planned airdrop is to be canceled, it is kinda complicated due to being involved in many chain networks. Particularly most donations have come from pseudonym individuals. Regarding those people who sent donations that expecting anything in returns would say this canceled airdrop as such a rugpull or something, in my moral view it would be such a waste if people start to regret what they did when it was to help others in need.

Edit;
Ukraine has canceled the planned airdrop which was announced yesterday and plan to launch NFTs instead, through which people can support their cause. This was announced through the account in charge of crypto donations earlier today;

There are a lot of people who are upset with this decision that the crypto community has been scammed by Ukraine and the reason is that after the Ukrainian government announced an airdrop to get more donations and after the money flowed in with them, they canceled the airdrop, but in my opinion whoever made the donation should not wait for any something in return. For NFT this is a wise decision as creating an NFT will cost only gas fees on the Ethereum and polygon chain and will increase the volume of donations.

Yes, there will be a lot of support from other countries soon, you can read it in the news.With the economy in the country, everything is fine so far, the national currency exchange rate has not suffered so much.I would not like to receive part of these donations, let them be distributed to those who really need them.

I see this from two angles, and they are -

First, I see absolutely no reason for this airdrop, I mean they were the ones who asked for crypto and even fiat donations, why did they if they didn't need the money?

I thought the plan for airdrop has been cancelled going by the information put above. Maybe an after thought they considered that they have alot going on and no need for distraction because airdrop will definitely be a distraction for them. They are getting donation already , EU, US and others have supported with $5.2 billion for the war as they raised the sanctions more. America banning Russian flight in there territory already.

Even if they don't need the money, I believe there are alot of their citizens going through hell right now as a result of the ongoing conflict, they can use that money to help this people.

Secondly, this could be a trick to get more people to donate to them if this is true, then am sorry to say but am disappointed, donation should be something one does with a free mind and spirit expecting nothing in return, one shouldn't be compelled or tricked into doing it, it's immoral.

This is impressive, mostly the airdrop got more attention as many people don't want to be left behind maybe after the war there will be something great to come and to also reward those who contributed. Is there BNB address to also help for the donation i searched through their tweet and replies but i couldn't find any. maybe if someone get it they can share here to enable those holding BNB to help support by donating to them as well.

Ukraine only accepts donations from donors via the polkadot network , solana Usdt (TRC20) , ETH ,BTC , There is no BNB address for donors , Be careful many scamers pretend to be asking for donations for ukraine , make sure for anyone who wants to donate take a verified address either on twitter or via direct uniswap.

But those who are aware they will not donate money without verification, because this is @Ukraine official twitter handler and here tweeted in details with donation address, Yeah i also see that still they didn’t provided any BNB address. I think who wanna donate they should verify carefully from ukraine official twitter account which is verified then there are no risk to donate.

Ukraine received donations more than 33 million dollar worth crypto and that amount is keep increasing. thus they might be realize the importance of crypto and so they announcement for airdrop, they are going to give their own token to their donators. Maybe thus they want to let the world know, we can donate ukraine from anywhere though crypto which is earlier process than fiat. After all they know that, this is not perfect time to disturbing free money but i dont know how they'll manage all of their donators from multiple blockchain

In this times of struggle they about to do an airdrop? Sounds suspicious to me, as they already have lots of donations few days ago from the crypto community. I bet their account was hacked and asking more and more donations which very alarming now.

I also think so that this may send it wrong message and negative impact. Why are they thinking of airdrop that they have much on their hands to handle. I think they should focus on the means to get support to prosecute the war and not to look for what to give back. Whether airdrop or not, people will show sympathy with them and give to them. Moreover they are yet to make official statement about the legal status of bitcoin in their country and why airdrop now in time of war.

It's strange that they take the donation and use it to do an airdrop, I don't understand how complicated this process is. I don't care what I get from them when the giving is to share some economic support for those in need. Don't turn this into a give and take program. I hope those responsible for this need to think more seriously and clearly, don't use money sarcastically.

It isn't a wise move to launch an airdrop using donations because there are other ways to use it. Ukrainians need financial help and not all of them could access crypto. Scammers might only take advantage of it. It would be better to donate it directly to Ukraine than to give it as an airdrop. These donations must reach straight to Ukraine.

I worry its really trusted official from Ukraine or not because I found many donation names about Ukraine after invasion by Russia, I don't know which one is true or scammer because found not one donation but also many donation payment using cryptocurrency. I heard Binance have donate almost billion USDT and they have sell all donation from Binance exchange and I think they only take benefit with donation a while without keep holding as long term recovery for his country. Maybe now look aware with donation without from real official from Ukraine government.

Therefore, we must be careful, that scammers always take advantage of this situation for their own benefit. don't care what happens, because the scammer is only for him. So if you really want to donate, use a trusted alternative. Even then, if you can afford it, give money, if you are able to speak, use it to always inform the truth, if you are able to pray then pray that everything will return to normal.

All donors have their roles according to what they can afford.

For some, it's all about business. War is a business, sanctions are a business, and my donation is to provide security and food for the Ukrainian people. I don’t want this to be a business, and humanitarianism is not a business.

it's really hard when there's no one to trust, but still donate (if in doubt then donate with a small fund) even though we don't know if the money is right on target (Ukrainians who suffer).

It is interesting to see how cryptocurrencies are becoming an important asset during war and protests.

Just a few weeks after the protestors in Canada receive lots of cryptocurrency, Ukraine is now receiving more donations to help their war efforts.

It is also interesting to see Ukraine asking binance to freeze russian accounts. I am happy to see binance deny their request, as Russian citizens have nothing to do with their goverment war.

It is impressive that PolkaDot founder just donated $ 5M in cryptocurrency to Ukraine!! WTF!

https://twitter.com/CoinDesk/status/1498668656598867972

Question: I was looking at their thread, they accept BTC ETH and DOT, afaik.

The problem is that ETH fees are very expensive. Will BTC users be eligible for the airdrop? As they are listening a token, it will be harder to give bitcoin users the airdrop. I think i will make a test using DOT blockchain.

Over the past few days, Ukraine has garnered solid support from organizations and individual sections of the crypto space.
It should be noted that many anonymous individuals also contributed large amounts of crypto assets to Ukraine. One of the contributors mysteriously sent 80 BTC to Come Back Alive – a charity organization that supports Ukrainian soldiers with equipment. At the time of the donation, it equaled more than $3 million.
