Charities say they cannot send humanitarian aid into Ukraine through normal channels, with ports blocked and roads made treacherous by bombings.
Cryptocurrencies donations themselves have emerged as a leading form of aid. Samuel Bankman-Fried, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, said his company gave $25 to “each Ukrainian” on FTX.Elliptic, a company that tracks cryptocurrency transactions, said that as of Friday, $56.2 million in digital currencies had been donated to Ukraine’s government and to Come Back Alive, a Ukrainian organization that says it trains and supplies ammunition to Ukraine's military.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's approval ratings dropped after invading Ukraine. But will that stop him?

At the same time, Russian media has been drumming up a false narrative that its aggression against Ukraine is aimed at removing Nazis from the government.
“It’s a system of volunteers essentially crowdsourcing delivery," she said."There will be a lot of private cars bringing supplies from Warsaw to Lviv.”
