Sounds like the real problem is having RUB.

In this case you're not starting with RUB, so you're solving a different problem.

Ukraine is not short of donations, they don't need money from the country currently destroying their cities and committing war crimes.
What they are asking for is more sanctions (which the Crypto utoptia is supposed to make impossible) to try and force the hand of a mad dictator without ushering in WW3.
Crypto is barely a footnote.

I just sent money to Ukraine via PayPal and the Ukrainian recipient confirmed they were able to add it to their bank card.
I’m not sure why you are barred but if I sent you crypto you’d probably need verification to withdraw it to fiat as well.
PayPal requires identity and permission. I am barred from using it, for example.
