There were many who wanted to help.

“I have talked to the embassy of Ukraine and the World Trade Organisation and the embassy has replied to me in five minutes that the information you have is correct! So all the addresses have been verified! Let’s do it! Don’t miss this chance!" tweeted Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum.
