A number of individuals have been able to escape Russia in the last several days or weeks and crowdfunding is an effective approach used many times to help from people around the world escape dangerous situations with the risk of war.
By sending donations through social media and other sites there are various individuals who have been able to connect with others who are eager to help.
They are assisting with people affording airfare, finding safe places to sleep, get food, or get food etc.
Many have expressed their gratitude for this help, sharing about having to start over with nothing and how that has been a better decision for them than staying and sacrificing their life in this war.
Imagine having to make that decision in a short amount of time to leave everything and try to start over somewhere else, and cryptocurrency has been a lifeline for many. Some have vowed not to return until there is significant government reform in the region.
Thousands are voting with their feet to leave, just as there are others who are willing to fight too though. Stories of those who are leaving all share the same theme in that they don't want to be made a piece of meat, they didn't raise their children and their families to be fodder for the state.
Millions on either side don't want to bother playing whatever psychotic power-hungry geopolitical chess game that others are so eager to play and sacrifice trillions in resources and lose how many lives for? At least for now they are allowing those to leave peacefully who want to choose for themselves.
We have seen how cryptocurrencies can and have played a role in bringing aid to these situations, enabling people to escape and feed or shelter themselves when they have no access to other means of doing so.
