Ukraine Partners With FTX, Everstake to Launch New Crypto Donation Website [From March 2022]
CoinDesk ^ | March 14, 2022 | Danny Nelson

FTX is converting crypto contributions to Ukraine’s war effort into fiat for deposit at the National Bank of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government launched a new crypto donations website on Monday, streamlining its multimillion-dollar effort to turn bitcoin into bullets, bandages and other war materiel.

Other estimates place the amount closer to $100 million, but totals vary with market swings and exactly which websites are included.

The website deepens an unprecedented tie-up between public and private sector forces in crypto. FTX is converting donations into fiat for deposit at the National Bank of Ukraine, a press release said. It described this relationship as a “first.”

Everstake’s involvement allows more cryptocurrencies to be accepted by the website.

The central bank is using donations to support “humanitarian aid programs” as well as Ukraine's armed forces, according to the website. “The people will continue their fight for freedom, but they need more ammunition and necessities,” the website read.

“Crypto assets proved extremely helpful in facilitation of funding flows to Ukrainian citizens and soldiers, as well as in raising awareness and engaging people worldwide,” Oleksandr Bornyakov, an official at the digital ministry, said in a statement.

He hinted that an upcoming NFT collection “will give the next boost to the crypto fundraising process.”

Given the recent news about how FTX has crashed and burned, I found this old article to be somewhat interesting. Take it for what it's worth.

Just solidifying the laundering theme.

Nothing but evil at every turn.

Rumor has it that the $$$ Biden sends to Ukraine was laundered through FTX to Dem coffers.

Bankman also created a back door into the software so he could withdraw funds but wouldn’t raise the alarm of employees or Feds.

Possible that he has escaped to South America. FWIW.

Someone here said ALL South American countries have extradition treaties.

But someone also suggested they may abe able to ‘drag back’ some of the $37m donated to Democrat candidates (including Biden) through the bankruptcy case. Basically, it was stolen money used to fund candidates.

Maybe some of the warmonger Zeepers can put their money where their mouth is and instead of taking taxpayer dollars to support their proxy war, they can donate to Zelensky and post images here to prove their sincerity and compassion.

Ukraine is a CIA shell corporation used for money laundering and mass child rape. Ukraine was named the #1 worst country in the world for human trafficking.
