Support for Ukraine

Ever since Russia’s full-scale, neo-colonial aggression began on February 24, 2022, Volodymyr Nosov has donated over $11 million, either privately or with authorized WhiteBIT funds, to support Ukraine.  Tens of thousands of food packages have resulted, feeding his compatriots, many of whom were displaced to emergency shelters. Parts of that sum support humanitarian organizations, volunteers and charities, including UNITED24, Serhiy Prytula's Charity Foundation, Tabletochki, the Rescue Now charity foundation and others. As a benefactor and president of a football club, Volodymyr Nosov supports the charitable initiatives of Ukraine’s Football Association, the nation’s umbrella organization representing soccer in the country.

“Today we are all on the same field and in the same team — the Ukrainian people, the army, business, the state, and international partners. And it's not just about protecting our home. If we stop, we will get evil and chaos instead of democratic rights and freedoms. Therefore, we must continue to fight for Ukraine's victory. In unity and with faith in a better future for the entire democratic world.”

Support for civilians in Ukraine and assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

From the onset of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, Volodymyr Nosov has initiated extensive purchases of food and other essential goods. The suffering civilians of his native city of Kharkiv have been a focus, together with diverse liberated areas in Donetsk, Chernihiv, Dnipro, Hostomel, and Bucha.
Volodymyr Nosov and WhiteBIT donated over $263,000 to help the victims of Russia’s breaching of the Kakhovka dam in June 2023, one of the largest man-made disasters the world has ever seen. 
In April 2024 he supported the opening of the “NGO Space” Civil Society Center in Dnipro. This will facilitate the coordination of humanitarian aid, support for combat brigades and victims of Russia’s assault on civilians. 
Volodymyr's numerous patriotic activities include assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, targeted assistance to the military and individual units of the Armed Forces, paramedics and volunteers.

Support for cultural & sports initiatives

Seeking to resist & rectify Russia’s despoilation of his homeland, Volodymyr Nosov demonstrates significant social responsibility, both personally and through WhiteBIT, supporting cultural and sports initiatives.
In 2023 under WhiteBIT’s banner, Nosov took part in projects undertaken by the “Don’t Take Fake” team. Funds raised from its «Module of Temporality» and «Spectral Poetry» initiatives were donated to restore art galleries, monuments, institutions and museums in Ukraine, damaged in the course of Russia’s wanton aggression.

Partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help Ukrainians from all over the world

Since April 2022 WhiteBIT has worked alongside Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help Ukrainian refugees and exiles displaced around the world. 
The crypto pioneer has funded an inclusive initiative for deaf Ukrainian citizens re-located throughout Europe. Features include setting up a round-the-clock chatbot service and call center to provide consultations.  The initiative has also donated seven batches of special technical equipment to provide emergency assistance to Ukrainians abroad. 
WhiteBIT's work with Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs demonstrates the value that new technology can contribute in humanitarian projects, providing operational solutions evenin the worst of scenarios.
