Dogecoin owners and investors are coming to the aid of the Ukrainian people after the meme cryptocurrency became more valuable than the Russian Ruble. Mykhailo Fedorov, the Minister of Digital Transformation for Ukraine, created a Dogecoin wallet and reached out to Billy Markus, the founder of Dogecoin asking if he and others would donate to the cause.
@dogecoin exceeded Russian ruble in value. We start to accept donations in meme coin. Now even meme can support our army and save lives from Russian invaders. $DOGE owners of the world, @elonmusk, @BillyM2k, let's do it. Official $DOGE wallet: DS76K9uJJzQjCFvAbpPGtFerp1qkJoeLwL

Billy made an undisclosed donation and then a popular meme account in the Doge / Crypto community known simply as "Greg" donated 420 Doge to the wallet address. This appears to be setting off a trend of Dogecoin owners donating 420 Doge to the Ukrainian people to support their army against the invasion by Russia.
