Over the last few days, cryptocurrencies have been adopted as a measure against war-induced economic woes following massive crypto donations made to Ukraine amid Russia’s attack. Country promises crypto airdrop to reward generous cryptocurrency donors.
The government of Ukraine has just announced plans for a first-of-its-kind token airdrop in a recent tweet on its official page. The country has been receiving massive donations of cryptocurrencies from prominent figures in the crypto space after Russia began to invade the peace of the country.
Crypto Airdrop in Ukraine
The announcement unveils that the airdrop will be a form of reward to benevolent personalities who have previously made donations to their Ethereum address to support them through these tough times.
“Airdrop confirmed. Snapshot will be taken tomorrow, on March 3rd, at 6pm Kyiv time (UTC/GMT +2 hours). Reward to follow! Follow subsequent news re Ukraine’s crypto donation campaign at @FedorovMykhailo,” the Ukraine government wrote on their Twitter page.
Although reports reveal that no further details have been provided regarding the promised token airdrop, it is regarded as the first of its kind in the world.

One of the comments reads:
“I can’t believe it. Am I the only one who thinks this is wrong? it’s nonsense to hand out like airdrop the money donated to help people in the Ukrainian war.”
