Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) said on Thursday that it would extend its technology support to Ukraine through the end of 2023, free of charge, valuing the support at roughly $100M.
In a blog post, Microsoft (MSFT) Vice Chair and President Brad Smith said the move would allow a number of sectors in Ukraine to continue to run their digital operations and help serve citizens via Microsoft Cloud.

The increased support, which now brings Microsoft's (MSFT) total to more than $400M since the war started in February, includes not only the ability to run services in the cloud, but also supports the country with cybersecurity protection; helps support nonprofits and humanitarian organizations in Ukraine, Poland and other EU countries; assisting other international organizations aiding Ukraine; and assisting employees who are contributing to nonprofits working on humanitarian relief efforts.
Microsoft (MSFT) shares were down fractionally in premarket trading.
Late last month, Microsoft (MSFT) was reported to not have made any remedies in Europe's antitrust review of the company's planned $69B purchase of Activision (ATVI).
