Ministry of Economy called on the world's major companies to block cooperation with Russia
The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine has prepared a public appeal to a number of international companies in the field of information technology with a call to freeze all operations and agreements with Russia and stop providing any services to the occupying country. Ukraine needs such support to stop the information and technological attacks of the Russian Federation.
Official letters of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine have already been sent to the following:
- Telegram Messenger Inc.
- Alphabet Inc. (Google, YouTube)
- Meta Platforms Inc (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp)

"Russia is in dire need of high-quality products and services, equipment and software produced by these companies to continue the war it waged. For example, many Telegram and YouTube channels, Facebook groups and Instagram profiles have been set up to spread misinformation among Ukrainians, Russians and around the world. Through these channels, the Russians are trying to learn important information about the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and share it to indicate the targets of future air strikes," the statement reads.
So far, several international technology companies have expressed their support for Ukraine. In particular, the founder of "SpaceX" and "PayPal" Elon Musk announced the sending of terminals of the Starlink satellite network and activation of access to the service in Ukraine.
The Ministry of Economy calls on all international companies to terminate cooperating with the occupiers who use high-tech products to satisfy their own inhumane purposes!
