Ethereum’s founder Vitalik Buterin is addressing the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. He said that while Ethereum is a neutral project, he as a person is not.

He made sure to denounce Russia’s invasion and he took to Twitter to blast Russian president Vladimir Putin’s decision to launch the latest attack.

Here’s what he said in a tweet that the Daily Hodl translated from Russian:

“Very upset by Putin’s decision to abandon the possibility of a peaceful solution to the dispute with Ukraine and go to war instead.”

He continued and said this:

“This is a crime against the Ukrainian and Russian people. I want to wish everyone security, although I know that there will be no security. Glory to Ukraine.”

As the online publication mentioned above notes, in another tweet, Buterin said that the top smart contract platform itself is impartial.

“Reminder: Ethereum is neutral, but I am not.”

Just in case you didn’t know, Buterin was born in Russia back in 1994 and he moved to Canada in 2000.

“[Ethereum’s layer-2] ecosystem is fascinating, roll-ups in particular. There’s a lot of magic there and I admire that greatly. And I think we can do better as an ecosystem…”
