After careful consideration we decided to cancel airdrop. Every day there are more and more people willing to help Ukraine to fight back the agression. Instead, we will announce NFTs to support Ukrainian Armed Forces soon. We DO NOT HAVE any plans to issue any fungible tokens

Not going to say that a country in a war zone should be spending time playing with airdrops, but they are underestimating the stupid amount of money they could've made if they made an airdrop of a dumb meme token and kept 50% of the supply that would sell a little bit every day. …

Answering to the humanitarian appeal from @FedorovMykhailo, TRON community has donated over $1.2M in USDT (TRC20), but now the airdrop just ignores them completely. It is just UNFAIR. We need to fix it! https://twitter.com/...

I feel sorry for those who got rugged!!! (meaning who sent eth with an expectation of getting airdrop) For those who are purely donating, plz send to the Ukraine people not government, since the fund will be 100% for recovery not buying tanks/missles https://twitter.com/...

ukraine have announced that they are NOT going to do an airdrop but rather NFTs, I think it would have made much more sense for them to go for this path anyways (an open edition donation NFT) thoughts? https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

“Man rugs entire crypto ecosystem” Lmao, this was a truly remarkable strategy. Only downside is the next time there's a situation that warrants donations, the parasytic sybil attackers won't participate. But then again, they wouldn't have anyways. https://twitter.com/...
