Ask your friends at Google to explain this joke donation of Adwords credit: https://www.androidcentral.com/google-response-ukraine-invasion

Ukraine needs real support not using this crisis to push your product!

If you want to make a statement switch off Google services in Russia. That is how revolutions are started!

Google makes less than %0.3 of their total revenue in Russia. Surely that is worth a sacrifice to end this unfair war and tell Russia they cannot invade their neighbors!

It’s the least they could do.

Ha ha ha. If they would suspend Russian trolls, that would be more worthy...

And yet they suspend pro Ukrainian YT accounts ...

The least they could do was nothing… this is just a little better than that. This isn’t 2 million of useful cash money, it’s -2 million of revenue. It sort of feels “cheap” to me.

And I’m wondering how senior the management chain has to be to approve something this large? Are we talking C suite? Or like Vice President of AdWords European business marketing division ?
