Ukraine To Create NFT Museum Symbolizing Russia’s Invasion

Ukraine’s government plans to launch a collection of Non-fungible Tokens (NFT) to serve as a digital museum to symbolize Russia’s attack on Ukraine; and by extension, the war at large. This move is seen by some as another of the country’s moves to finance its military activities in the ongoing war through the use of digital assets.

Alex Bornyakov, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Digital transformation claims the country wants to preserve history; and tell the world their story through NFTs. He furthered that the projects may take time as they want them to be popularly acceptable while making them look appealing.

According to Alex, each NFT will be gotten from reports made by trusted news outlets concerning the war. These NFTs will contain unique pieces of art from those selected stories, obtained from “trusted sources”.

This new development comes after the Ukrainian government has received about $100 million worth of crypto assistance in its official wallets. In a tweet, Alex Bornyakov appreciates those who have contributed to the crypto fund of Ukraine; while also giving a breakdown of how some of the money was spent.
