For example, they're featured on
MERF1 in Philippine,
A photographer2 in Georgia, a one
Patrick Oates Insurance agent3 in Wisconsin,
a mining company4 in Indonesia, a
climate justice and feminist heroes5 in Malaysia, a
public forum and citizenship6 (?) not sure about this, they're now Puerto Rican, though, and many more that I am somewhat think those pictures must be a template from a website builder.

Additional notes: I think, at this point and sadly, it became a rule of thumb that a project using Ukraine as one of their aspect --be it a pure donation project which actually only distribute a tiny portion of the total fund to Ukraine, or project with working features like this-- should be approached with caution as mostly are scam projects from people with zero morals and ethic who tried to reap benefits from other's suffering.
A note that I think worth considering though, for anyone who actually really interested and moved to donate to Ukraine through crypto, I would suggest to use Binance's
Ukraine Emergency Relief Fund as the fundraising is --yes,
is, it's still ongoing-- hosted by a very reputable crypto organization with a --IMO-- transparent fund distribution and unless I am mistaken, the entire 100% of the fund raised are allocated to those in needs, no 80% investors bullshit, or 19% transaction fees are for the refugee, or anything like it.
