Through this the true meaning of bitcoin is being understood by the people. I'm not into the discussion whether this address is legitimate, if this is being verified then it is good that cryptocurrency played its role in serving people than humanity. Even yesterday when I was into a discussion about cryptocurrency he mentioned don't you have anything else to talk. All of the sudden such a statement gave me pain as I wasn't expecting it. Today the world will talk about it. Hope this small donations will feed the people in need.

There will surely be doubt but we could see the real function of cryptocurrency during this kind of situation. The point is, there are still lots of people who are willing to help and that's what humanity is. I hope that this pandemic would come to an end and people especially children wouldn't have to suffer. I also hope that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will get better so the donations could be used to rebuild the main city of Ukraine again.

To erase whatever doubt people may have who are willing to help, I think the officials or some legal bodies should have publicly announced this information and made it known to everyone the official wallet that was authorized for the donation. That would have made it easier from the start but seeing that big names like CZ Binance and Justin Sun already made donations to the same wallet (from what I read above) I guess we can conclude it is authentic.

I advise all people who are willing to give to check that the above address, or any other address, effectively belongs to the Ukrainian government.

My apologies to the OP, but I'm suspicious by nature.

I understand your impression because some scammers are already using the situation to spam people's inboxes with the BTC, USDT, etc addresses thats different from the wallet address provided by the OP. However, the wallet address the OP provided is the real Ukrainian government wallet used to accept donations.

we all have this fundamental portion, suspicious feature so commonly. OP did the great job make the thing more clear, also I got several notification regarding the given donation address whether official or not. Few popular page give us the instruction and said as of now looks legit. Neither Ukrainian Twitter page was compromised nor donation address leads to scammer. Ukrainian authorities affirmed with numerous sources that it's genuine.

Well, I'm one of the people that just want this to end just like the pandemic.

There is not much we can do to stop this aggression other than to put pressure on our governments to condemn Moscow and impose harsh sanctions against Russia. They are the ones that invaded another country and must be punished by international law. Putin seems to have no respect for the Geneva Convention, and the entire world must stand together to make him stop.

I'm amazed that it's being used and done during the war. But at the same time, it's better not to see such donation needed and no war at all.

The crypto community is certain that will help and do whatever they can in support of Ukraine as people see the aggression being done by the Russian government.

Well, I'm one of the people that just want this to end just like the pandemic.

Very sad the world still goes to war in this era, and what's worse is that the casualties of the war in terms of Life lost and standard of living are the poor. I think the whole world needs healing that's why it gives me joy that the Crypto-currency world are playing there part in making life easier for Ukrainian lots of relief donations are being made in crypto -currency, and also a Crypto Exchange has removed oall transaction fee, trading or whatsoever for Ukrainians this is a big welcome step.

In a simple sense, I think that the Firearms dealers chose to accept bitcoin for transaction which can also serve as a way of misusing bitcoin although it portrays the usage of bitcoin but the interpretation of the general use case of bitcoin may not sound proper if someone states that it can also be used to obtain ammunitions for war. Because War is not a good thing and every other factor used for war can be tagged unclean for so many people that lost their properties in the war that heard of bitcoin during this war. These are things that should be looked into considerations but, as a means of help to the needy it's the fastest vehicle of reaching out to them regarding the slow services of bankers and banks will not operate properly. However, the people of Ukraine should only promote the usage of the bitcoins sent to the Ukrainian Government it'll help disseminate bitcoin to the world.

This is a good news wherein Ukraine will atleast receive financial assistance but at the same time how they will be utilising this fund whether they will be using it to purchase weapons or use it to keep their lifeline going by using it for food? Also we might see so many cheaters who will be taking advantage by posing as fundraisers for Ukraine conflict.

There should be more awareness and the official address for donation should be telecasted in all the major international news channels and people should be warned against transferring it to any other address apart from official one.

The address is the same https://www.open.online/2022/02/26/ucraina-richieste-donazioni-bitcoin/
as reported by this Italian online newspaper.
It actually looked like a scam (like so many already seen) but it seems that its origin is real and more third party confirmation have been received.

BTW This is an impressive news, a sign of our times. an example of superiority of BTC versus FIAT.

Things like these are the perfect avenue for scammers to take advantage of an unfortunate scenario. Unfortunately, there are scammers who spread and create fake addresses on the internet posing as donations for Ukraine, but in reality, are scams.

Before people should decide to invest, proper research and responsibility must remain. Be vigilant and remain suspicious until all other sources confirm that such addresses posted are the genuine ones that are created by the government of Ukraine itself.

Glad to hear that, I know how the Ukrainian president at that time had asked for help from NATO countries but all were silent and could not do anything about it. When NATO countries are in crisis facing each other, of course Ukraine cannot hope for more. Fundraising through Bitcoin is the right choice. Moreover, it proves how nothing can prevent the flow of funds from being sent and anonymity is maintained. Even if other countries fear being caught meddling in Ukraine, they can choose Bitcoin as a payment alternative. President Putin has threatened other countries not to try to interfere in Ukrainian affairs. But there is an anonymous alternative that can be used via Bitcoin. The idea carried out by the Ukrainian Minister is quite good.

It's good to see a community helping each other or even helping a country to fund at least only for victims of war, not to fund its arms.
But I don't see this as an ethical or even effective. How can they cashout these cryptos to fiat in terms of war? Also, if an exchange such coinbase or so supports like this, for a war, so it can be exchange and withdraw almost instantly as it is needed so badly.

Asking for transparency - don't expect that it will be a full audit or full transparency.

Since many of them are already confirming the address I am not much into whether they are scammer addresses or legit. The legitimacy is already been conform by news channels, articles, celebrities and most of the twitter handles.

I would like to point out that crypto currency’s are really making its way through the time like WAR. I mean Ukraine know very well it would be hard to accept banking help because many of them are cutting down the swift codes and business with war countries. The only was is now to have payment with crypto. I just hope this becomes one of the prime thing and helps everyone.

Why do we need this fundraising to be stopped Huh

.

For the time being if at all possible, hopefully, donated Bitcoins are transparent first. It can't be prevented, it's just that many are afraid of the results that Bitcoin will get. We're just trying to wait to hear if the donations actually get to the right hands or feed the scammers. Always put 2 options just in case. Watch transactions in and out of Bitcoin addresses.

This situation goes to show the utility of bitcoin as a borderless currency which is immune to regulations, sanctions and the other games of politics and more people would come to the realization of this through such public acts.
I however sometimes wonder how many of the donators are enthusiasts of the cryptocurrency they donated in, or if they simply googled "how to buy BTC, ETH etc with credit card" and would not be interested in looking it up further.

Lets suppose its true and people will realize the importance of bitcoin. In the situation o war, bank and credit cards (plastic money) stopped working. Only cash and crypto in ur personal wallets can be handy all the times.

Cash would have more utility is such a situation as it is the fastest means of transacting and is not dependent on internet connection or access to a mobile device.

Guys always make your search and not feed scammer ...
Anyway It seems that even

Justin Sun (TRON) has sent 200K USDT

Well you're right, I'm still trying to monitor how the BTC goes in and out in a short time. Even now the amount collected is almost close to 20 BTC. The Ukrainian government must follow up on this otherwise the bad effects will turn on them for misusing Bitcoin. We hope this fundraising can be stopped.

Yes, it's two fold, there could be some entities trying to take advantage of the situation and this is not the first time that we've seen criminals in the crypto space. Even during the height of the pandemic, there are a lot of fake donation address too, so I would be cautious as well. Unless the Ukraine government did acknowledge that it belongs to them, just saying.
