            After raising a near $47 million in total donations for funding against their war with Russia, the Ukrainian government wants to give back to its donors in the form of an airdrop. The airdrop, which rewards aren't clear yet, will be distributed directly into the wallets of those who have donated to the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Airdrops involve businesses or crypto projects providing free tokens or NFTs to their communities as a way to encourage adoption. In the case of Ukraine, to increase donations to the country. The news of the Airdrop has surely increased donations, with thousands of microdonations<\/a> flooding their ETH wallet<\/a> in hopes of getting a reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
