Ukrainian Children of Heroes need your help: Donate with crypto

cointelegraph.com:

Countless Ukrainian children have lost their mothers and fathers since the onset of the Russian invasion. Tens of thousands more have had their lives upended, forced to leave their homes, schools, friendships and cherished belongings behind as the Russian military swept across a large part of the country.

In response to the invasion, the Ukrainian government has swiftly amassed more than $70 million in crypto donations. A keen advocate for the digital realm, Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation quickly identified the significance of receiving crypto contributions during wartime. The funds collected by the government have been used to procure essential goods, helmets, bulletproof vests, night vision goggles and other supplies.

The head of the United Nations International Computing Centre explained to Cointelegraph that crypto is one of the fastest ways of supporting those in war zones. Yet direct channels to assist families and children have been impacted by the full-scale Russian invasion.

With the help of Cointelegraph, the nonprofit Children of Heroes now allows the crypto community to donate Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Tether (USDT) and several other cryptocurrencies to benefit the organization and the children of Ukraine.

DONATE TO HELP CHILDREN OF UKRAINE

Estimates by a global NGO Save the Children suggest that 7.5 million children face the imminent risk of displacement or grave danger, with countless others potentially missing. As reported by The New York Times, the conflict has taken a staggering toll, with over 70,000 Ukrainian lives lost and at least 100,000 injured, including a heart-wrenching 1,500 children. Meanwhile, at least 11 million people have been displaced from their homes.
