IT Community Offers Russian Soldiers 5M Rubles in Crypto To Surrender

Key Insights:

• Ukrainian television personality Masha Efrosinina announced the offer for Russian military personnel.
• The deal will be executed using the millions of dollars donated by the global IT community.
• Apart from the money, the Russian soldiers who surrender will receive pardons after trial.
• The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine also backs this initiative.

The Ukrainian TV host and media personality Masha Efrosinina announced the initiative in an Instagram post. She also discussed how this would be executed after the Russian soldiers’ surrender. 

Russians’ Choice – Money or Motherland?

While crazy negotiations for ending wars and implementing ceasefires aren’t unheard of, the deal presented here still stands out.

While most negotiations are effective throughout the country, this offer applies to individuals and entire army units. The post from the TV personality stated:

“The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the global IT community offer the Russian military to surrender, receive an amnesty, and earn money. IT people from all over the world have raised millions of dollars and will continue to collect to pay the Russian military 5 million rubles in cryptocurrency, to an account or in cash. As soon as soldiers with military equipment surrender, they receive money. Amnesty – after the trial. But the main thing is that they can give up right now and get money right now. (sic) “

Thus the involvement of the Ministry of Defence makes it as legitimate as the Belarus peace negotiations. 

The deal stated that to surrender, the Russian military personnel or unit needed to stop all acts of war crimes. These acts also included crimes against humanity and every other illegal activity dictated by the ICJ (International Court of Justice).

Secondly, before surrendering, the military personnel must either surrender or destroy the military equipment and ensure using a white flag as a sign of surrender.

These people would be provided legal protection from the state of Ukraine and be provided a worthy future in the country.

Developments in the War

FXEmpire’s consistent reporting of the events unfolding has brought to light some significant developments. Firstly both the countries finally agreed on negotiating to stop the war as Russia just alerted its Nuclear deterrents. 

But Ukraine isn’t backing down from a fight either, as the country has support pouring in from all around the world.

The Ukrainian government recently raised over $19 million, equal to 571 million Ukrainian hryvnias in cryptocurrency donations. 

Along with this, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange Binance also announced a $10 million donation to Ukraine.

Binance’s charity arm Binance Charity also established a Ukraine emergency Relief Fund. 

Using crypto crowdfunding, they will support ground zero situations through charities and collaborations.

On the other hand, the country is also taking offensive measures against Russia. The Ukrainian government announced bounties for information about Russian and Belarusian politicians’ crypto wallets.

They did so to block Russia’s potential use of crypto to escape the myriad of sanctions placed on the country potentially.
