Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s vice prime minister and minister of digital transformation announced yesterday that the government is now accepting donations in the meme-based cryptocurrency Dogecoin. He even gave a shout-out to the DOGE co-creator Billy Markus and Tesla CEO Elon Musk asking for a contribution.

At the time of writing, the Dogecoin address posted by Fedorov has received more than DOGE, worth over $65,000.

A day earlier, Federov tweeted about a project called Aid For Ukraine, a collaboration between the Ukrainian government and Everstake a Solana-based crypto project to raise funds in Solana cryptocurrency.
