Microsoft officially announced today that it will offer technological aid of 100 million dollars to Ukraine, which is at war with Russia, and this after the American company has so far received technological aid worth 300 million dollars. dollars for the country invaded by Russia.
Microsoft is one of the American companies that has provided technological aid in a huge amount up to now, and will continue to do so because, as you already know very well, Ukraine needs a lot of support during this period, and it seems that he will receive it.
"Today, we are announcing that Microsoft will extend free technology assistance to Ukraine throughout calendar year 2023. This commits our company to providing approximately $100 million in additional technology assistance, which will ensure that government agencies, critical infrastructure and other sectors in Ukraine can continue to run their digital infrastructure and serve citizens through Microsoft Cloud.
I am announcing this commitment in Lisbon, Portugal at a joint press conference with Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
Ukraine's continued defense depends in part on a critical digital alliance of countries, companies and nonprofits. Since the war began in February, Microsoft and other technology companies have provided unprecedented technological assistance to the government and people of Ukraine. By paying for digital infrastructure in the public cloud, Microsoft and others have supported critical Ukrainian services through data centers across Europe.
As outlined in Microsoft's June report, this has been instrumental in protecting the resilience and security of Ukraine's data and digital services, even in the face of Russian cruise missiles and other kinetic attacks on Ukraine's government data center and of other physical assets. Today's commitment will bring Microsoft's total support to Ukraine to more than $400 million since the start of the war in February."
Microsoft will provide $100 million in technology assistance to Ukraine, said Brad Smith, vice president of the company.
