Vitalik Buterin – co-founder of Ethereum – has criticized Putin and his latest exercise in warmongering.
Yesterday, the Russian armed forces launched a “special military operation” (as Vladimir Putin calls it) in Ukraine. However, everything indicates that this is the start of a larger invasion that could disturb the peace on the continent.
Vitalik Buterin criticized this act, calling it “a crime against the Ukrainian and Russian people.” Despite being born in Russia, the 28-year-old programmer ended his speech with the words, “Glory to Ukraine.”
In his last tweet, Vitalik Buterin said he was “very upset” by Vladimir Putin’s decision to start a war against Ukraine. In his opinion, the military operation will have devastating consequences for Ukrainian and Russian citizens.
The Ethereum co-creator also expresses his pessimism about the diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Vitalik gloomily predicts, “I know there will be no security.
Russian-born Buterin appears to be speaking against his homeland in this war dispute. He stated that while Ethereum is neutral, he is not.
Vitalik Buterin and The Reaction of the Financial Markets
The growing tension between the two nations has caused massive disruptions in the cryptocurrency and financial markets. Bitcoin plunged near $34,000, while most altcoins are also in the red.
Digital asset market capitalization has fallen below $1.6 trillion, which means it has decreased by around $200 billion since yesterday.
It is not yet known how the “great nations” will approach armed conflicts. US President Joe Biden called Russia’s attack “unprovoked and unwarranted”.
He also warned Putin of “further consequences” if the aggression continues soon.
Boris Johnson – the British Prime Minister – also sided with Ukraine. He said Britain would provide a military support package to the attacked nation and impose severe sanctions on Russia.
