Eine der wichtigsten englischsprachigen Nachrichtenagenturen der Ukraine hat damit begonnen, Spenden in Kryptowährung zu erbitten, um ihre Arbeit zu finanzieren.
The Kyiv Independent hat begonnen, für seine neuen Kryptowährungs-Wallets zu werben, die die neuesten Finanzierungsmittel der Zeitung sind.
The Bitcoin wallet has received just over 0.126 BTC ($5,000), while the ether wallet has taken in donations of 59.4 ETH ($163,000). The two wallets saw their first transactions on February 25.
Those wallets are in addition to the Kyiv Independent’s older GoFundMe and Patreon accounts. All of these fundraising methods have seen heightened activity amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Kyiv Independent’s crypto wallets are just the latest in a growing list of Ukrainian causes using cryptocurrency to gather funds, including the Ukrainian government itself.
The Kyiv Independent ist ein Ableger der Kyiv Post, der ältesten englischsprachigen Zeitung des Landes. Die Kyiv Post, eine der führenden Quellen unabhängiger Nachrichten in der Ukraine, wurde bereits im November aufgelöst.
Owner Adnan Kivan at the time said he intended to restart the publication, which has since resumed. Members of the post’s editorial staff, however, released a joint statement at the time indicating that they had been fired en masseals Kivan versuchte, ihre Unabhängigkeit einzuschränken.
Those fired reporters went on to launch the Kyiv Independent at the end of November. Ominously, the first opinion the outlet published was a November 30 piece called “Is Russia really about to invade Ukraine?”
