Two years ago financial system of Ukraine and democracies were paralyzed due to the Russian full invasion to Ukraine.

Fundraising campaigns of pro-Ukrainian volunteers on GoFundMe, Partonate and other platforms, financial providers, banks were frozen or terminated with no justification.

Lately we learned that our causes were associated with “risk/emergency activities” according to #FAFT recommendations.

How we were able to deliver anyway humanitarian aid and especially hundreds pieces of protective equipment for our families and friends, journalists to #Kyiv and #Lwiw on the second day of the war?

Thanks to the speed of #bitcoin. While the world was thinking should they act or wait we were getting support from bitcoin community/our families from abroad via bitcoin transactions.

Today Ukrainians using bitcoin too, especially at the temporary occupied or under risk of occupation places. There is no other payment instruments. You can’t use also cash - it is dangerous to have Ukrainian currency with you at such places.

I am forever grateful for that help and support 🫶🙏
