The company said in its blog post that the Threat Analysis Group is focusing on the safety and security of our users in Ukraine and the surrounding region. The TAG has issued hundreds of government-backed attack warnings to Ukrainian users alerting them for 12 months. Additionally, as part of the increased investment in Poland, Google is also using Google’s spaces and resources to support those affected by the war.

“At the request, and with the help of the government of Ukraine, we’ve started rolling out a rapid Air Raid Alerts system for Android phones in Ukraine,” Walker wrote. “This work is supplemental to the country’s existing air raid alert systems and based on alerts already being delivered by the Ukrainian government,” said Kent Walker, president of global affairs for Google.
