Vitalik Buterin (prominent crypto entrepreneur), initially believed that accounts asking for crypto donations had been hacked. American diplomat Tomicah Tillemann confirmed that the accounts were legitimate with Olexander Scherba, the Ukrainian Ambassador.

Ukrainian civilians-turned-refugees have reported the loss of access to their fiat savings and credit cards. As of Saturday, more than 150,000 people had been forced from Ukraine by the United Nations.
My Ukrainian credit cards are no longer valid. Although I am physically safe in Kazakhstan, all of my savings have disappeared.
Crypto is my only source of money, and I can confidently say that $BTC and $ETH will save my life, even if I’m unable to return home.

Although there has been confusion about the intended uses of crypto donations, Buterin shared another initiative. This is a decentralized autonomous organisation that focuses exclusively on Ukrainian citizens.
Here’s your chance to help the Ukrainians! Proceeds will go to civilian efforts to help Ukrainians affected by the war. https://t.co/GD7Qlw61nT
