Solidarity with Ukraine! Monnaie de Paris launches a medal with 80% of proceeds going to the Red Cross. Go buy them!
Predicated on a whole pack of lies, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is one of the most illogical and unnecessary wars in modern history. That this disturbing individual and his cronies can force a conflict between fundamentally the same peoples, is both a disgrace to the people of Russia, and a travesty for the people of Ukraine. From the Czars, through the Communists, and to the modern kleptocracy, the people in this proud and ancient land have suffered enough, and deserve better.
What’s obvious to all, is the humanitarian disaster that’s gathering steam as I write. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are fleeing the war zone, and millions remain, in a situation almost certainly about to escalate in intensity. Many organisations are doing what they can to alleviate suffering, including the Red Cross.
The Monnaie de Paris have put a mini-medal up for sale with an appropriate design which will sell for €10.00, and of that, €8.00 will go directly to the Red Cross to provide humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian people. It’s a great idea, and we highly recommend picking one up as a show of support. It’s something you can carry, or send to people – a visible show of solidarity. Hopefully, the madness will end before it spreads even further, but the people will continue to need help for some time.

Hi
Please do not comment the actual situation in Europe because your statement ‘Predicated on a whole pack of lies, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is one of the most illogical and unnecessary wars in modern history.’ is anything but wrong as Russia warned since 2007 Western countries about Russia security concerns.
European leader are aware of this fact but decided to ignore it. So blame western leaders for the actual situation not russia.
Your statement is just another piece of shit in a big propaganda war. Selling coins do not make you a great realpolitik prophet. So shut the fuck up.
Regards
So it’s a propaganda war by the West, and everything Putin says in the undiluted truth, is that your argument? With that kind of logic, and the language, I’m closing comments on this one. The French medal is about giving money for humanitarian relief, not for military crap, so get some perspective.
And we don’t sell coins.
Good on you, Mik, and thanks for the info on the medal.
1) I fully subscribe to the first comment. USA, the all Europe and NATO wanted and dreamed of war, so it was shaking with passion (giving an insane amount of weapons to Nazi Ukraine) – so you got the war ! Russia has been warning since 2007, since 2014 and in 2021 – stop supporting the Nazis with their torchlight parades and zig-heil slogans. Didn ‘t you wash your face enough with the Nazis in WWII ? Have the war !
2) if the medal is for charity, then it is sacred!
