Apparently, the Ethereum founder himself has not mentioned the donations anywhere. Rather, the instance of these donations was revealed via his registered Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain name vitalik.eth, through which he made these massive donations.
Cryptocurrencies have evolved as a major help to Ukraine as they helped the country acquire several military supplies and other humanitarian purposes. And in the ongoing war, the invaded country continues to receive donations via the asset class. The crypto assets have unveiled its whole new different nature in the situation of a geopolitical crisis.
Finally, there were some security talks regarding this war which raised some hopes that this war might eventually meet a peaceful end. But as we can witness Russia is not in a talking mood right now.
