In the midst of growing turmoil, Ukraine has begun collecting Dogecoin donations

In a recent development, Ukraine’s Vice President Mykhailo Fedorov tweeted that Ukraine has included Dogecoin in its list of cryptocurrency donations.

In his tweet, he also included the wallet address for $DOGE donations. Furthermore, the Vice President urged Elon Musk, the co-founder of Dogecoin and a well-known billionaire, to support the fight against Russian invaders. It was the Ukrainian government’s most recent crypto-related step.

Elon Musk has been outspoken in his support for Dogecoin. As a result, Ukraine has attempted to capitalize on this. Previously, the President has urged Elon Musk to give internet coverage throughout Ukraine. Musk answered by noting that Starlink activities were operational throughout Ukraine.

However, the Co-Founder of Dogecoin tweeted in reaction to the Vice President’s post. The total amount in DOGE tokens has now surpassed $38,350.
