Founder of Pussy Riot and feminist activist Nadya Tolokonnikova, alongside digital artist Trippy Labs and members of PleasrDAO have launched UkraineDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization with the goal of helping Ukrainians during Russia’s invasion of the country.
The DAO was created just a day ago and is putting plans in motion to support people in Ukraine.
On the UkraineDAO Twitter, people can learn about the situation in Ukraine, get real time updates, and find more information about how best to support civilians during the crisis, while using the power of Web 3.0 technology to raise funds.
Due to the critical situation in Ukraine, the banking systems in the region are collapsing, ATMs are reported to be out of order, and contactless payments are unreliable. Many have lost their internet connection.
“The primary focus right now is planning a fund raiser via an NFT listing with a PartyBid so people can donate as much or as little as they wish. A big part of the current focus is ensuring these funds are also being deployed in the right way and to the right organizations to have maximum benefit to key civilian organizations on the ground in Ukraine,”
explained artist Mr. Jon Kane on the UkraineDAO Discord.
According to the channel, Ukraine flag NFTs will be released in order to raise funds this Saturday.
On Friday 25th of February at 11 a.m. EST, Pussy Riot and Trippy Labs will introduce UkraineDAO on the ‘Ohh Shiny’ Show. Join here.
welcome to @Ukraine_DAO.
our goal is to raise funds to donate to Ukranian civilian organizations who help those suffering from the war that Putin started in Ukraine.
we’ll be buying an NFT of Ukrainian flag.
much support and love to Ukraine @TrippyLabs @PleasrDAO pic.twitter.com/cxVS7OiP2K

NFT writer Andrew Wang shared some resources and ideas on Twitter:
how can we support the people of ukraine with our resources? if it’s a DAO, where do we go once we pool eth? what about raising money with an NFT collection? we’d have to make sure it’s not a rug and that there’s full transparency
