By KYIV. Nov 3 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Microsoft will provide Ukrainian critical infrastructure and other state-important sectors with technological assistance in the amount of $100 million by the end of 2023, Microsoft Vice President Brad Smith said during a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov.
"Thanks to technical assistance, government agencies, critical infrastructure and other sectors in Ukraine will continue to use digital infrastructure for free and work in the Microsoft cloud. The company will also help with the curation and implementation of Ukraine’s digital sectors, such as cyber, litigation, customs, medicine and education," the ministry said.
Fedorov noted that Microsoft was one of the first companies to suspend all new sales of products and services in Russia in early March.
"During this time, Ukraine has received more than $400 million in support. In addition to free services, Microsoft supports Ukraine in the field of cyber, donates humanitarian aid and cooperates with the Ukrainian government to document the war crimes of the Russian invaders," the deputy prime minister said.
