Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) co-creator Vitalik Buterin has criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to attack Ukraine, calling it a “crime against the Ukrainian and Russian people.”
What Happened: Buterin, who was born in Russia and grew up in Canada, said on Twitter that he was very upset by Putin’s decision to go to war by abandoning the possibility of a peaceful solution to the dispute with Ukraine.
“I want to wish everyone security, although I know there will be no security. Glory to Ukraine,” Buterin said in Russian, as per a machine-translated version.
“I want to wish everyone security, although I know that there will be no security,” the Ethereum co-founder added. “Glory to Ukraine.”
Очень расстроен решением Путина отказаться от возможности мирного решения спора с Украиной и вместо этого начать войну. Это преступление против украинского и русского народа.
Хочу желать всем безопасности, хотя знаю, что не какой безопасности не будет.
Слава Украине.
