In the statement posted on Friday, president and vice-chair Brad Smith reaffirmed support for the Ukrainian government and the company's partnership with supplying cybersecurity help to the nation.
"We are coordinating closely and working in lockstep with the governments of the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and we are stopping many aspects of our business in Russia in compliance with governmental sanctions decisions," wrote Smith. "Since the war began, we have acted against Russian positioning, destructive or disruptive measures against more than 20 Ukrainian government, IT and financial sector organizations. We have also acted against cyberattacks targeting several additional civilian sites."
These attacks, Smith says, could be a violation of the Geneva Convention. Because of this and other potential law violations, Microsoft has begun dispatching other aid teams to the region.
"Our Microsoft Philanthropies and UN Affairs teams are working closely with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and multiple UN agencies to help refugees by providing technology and financial support for key NGOs and, where needed, we are defending these groups from ongoing cyberattacks," he said.
