Here is an actual source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/ukrainian-government-launches-crypto-donation-website-with-ftx-kuna-and-everstake https://cointelegraph.com/news/ukrainian-government-launches... Quote: “Aid For Ukraine shows how the global crypto community and the traditional financial system can work together,” said Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. “Crypto donations to the DAO are stored and governed on-chain, then transferred to FTX, a centralized exchange, to be sold for fiat USD sent via SWIFT to the Ukrainian government.” So basically people in the US (not the US government) sent money to Ukraine using FTX as an exchange to fiat (lol). Seems the whole thing is more like a PR thing than anything else.

How can we know who sent it though? You can't state the truth as one way or another, at least not yet.

  We certainly don't have any evidence for the extraordinary claim that the divided government is embezzling funds into cryptocurrency, and then convincing the entire government of a sovereign nation to embezzle them back to one political party. You could say we don't have proof that Rishi Sunak isn't an alien from Alpha Centauri sent to Earth to eliminate donuts without holes, but you don't just make up extraordinary claims for no reason. It is logical to assume the simplest, boring thing is the truth unless you have evidence otherwise, a la Occam's razor.
