Ukrainian boxing legend and two-time heavyweight world champ Wladimir Klitschko is releasing a collection of non-fungible tokens (NFT) to support Ukraine’s war effort.
Proceeds from the collection will be donated to Red Cross Ukraine and UNICEF. The collection, titled “Vandalz for Ukraine: WhIsBe x Wladimir Klitschko,” was made in partnership with artist WhIsBe, and will be available to mint in a tiered pricing model for $100, $1,000 and $10,000.
“It is a magnificent initiative, a support through art at the service of people who suffer,” Klitschko said in a statement. “Art can be beautiful on many levels when used to serve humanity.”
“It is a magnificent initiative: a support through art, a superb « supp-art » at the service of people who suffer,” said Wladimir Klitschko. “Art can be beautiful on many levels when used to serve humanity.”
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to be of service for the greater good,” noted WhIsBe. “It’s incredible to be able to use my art and this emerging technology to help others in need and provide immediate relief to any location in the world.”
Russia launched a full-scale attack against Ukraine nearly two weeks ago, with Russia shelling cities in the former Soviet republic. Since then, Ukraine has been receiving funds from several organizations and countries.
