JAKARTA – Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his support for Ukraine. Responding to the sympathy that came to Ukraine even though other countries in the world were experiencing similar conditions. Buterin said that this did not stop people from caring about Ukraine or vice versa.
Buterin conveyed this support through his Twitter post on March 10, 2022. He mentioned the conditions experienced by Yemen and Ethiopia, people in both countries experience the same suffering as Ukrainian citizens.
“Ukraine is far from the only one suffering from war. Also people in Yemen, Ethiopia... as human as Ukrainians and you. This is NOT a valid reason not to care about Ukrainians today. But that means we have to reflect on ourselves and convey our compassion to others as well.”

The latest tweet follows his reply to a tweet asking European Universities to admit Russian students who have been convicted of protesting the Putin regime. Anton Barbashin, Editorial Director of Riddle Russia, a news website, said that accepting citizens who protested Putin's decision was a sign that Europe supports innocent Russians.
“It would be a wonderful gesture if European Universities openly welcomed Russian students who were expelled for protesting the war in Russia, signaling that Europe stands with those in Russia who are against Putin and against the war. That not all Russians are treated as Putin&Co."
Responding to this, Buterin stated that support for Ukraine should be a priority, after that only support those who oppose Putin's decision.
On February 24, the Ethereum boss issued his famous statement that Ethereum is neutral. “Reminder: Ethereum is neutral, but I am not.” He also briefly posted a Russian-language tweet that meant "crimes against the people of Ukraine and Russia."
On the other hand, the western media failed to reflect the conflicts in other countries as happened in Ukraine. Twitter users replied to Vitalik's post with a quote from rapper Tupac Shakur that read: "They have money for war, but can't feed the poor."
