Google has done a lot of things to benefit Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been going on for over three months. It has seen several territorial changes and war tragedies, and although it has not stopped yet, Ukraine has managed to hold its own and defend its territory. An essential element of the war has been fighting misinformation to ensure that both those in and out of the country are kept informed of what is happening. One of the companies that has helped with these efforts has been Google, and therefore the company has been awarded Ukraine’s first “Peace Prize”.
The news was confirmed by Google’s Deputy Director of Government Affairs and Public Policy, Karan Bhatia. He received the award from the Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov (on behalf of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy). The company was awarded a plaque with Ukrainian flag colors and Google logo. It is the “Peace Prize of Ukraine” and it says: “On behalf of the Ukrainian people with gratitude for the support during this crucial moment in the history of our nation.”
It’s really a small sign to say “thank you” to Google for what it has done through the war. The company created a hub on its search browser that serves users accurate information to anyone searching for the war. Likewise, its Google News component has also been hugely valuable. The company also helps raise money for the cause of Ukraine, like many companies, to help people displaced due to the war. Google also does many other things to help protect Ukrainian infrastructure.
