Google "revealed" locations of Ukrainian military systems on maps: details

Google updated Google Maps, which led to the revealing the locations of Ukrainian military systems. This update could be detrimental to Ukraine, as the information is now accessible to Russia.

This was reported by Andriy Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council.

He explained that experts had already reached out to Google about updating the maps, but a quick response from the corporation has yet to come.

"Imagine the situation. Google posts updated images on the maps, showing the location of our military systems (I won’t specify). We reach out to them, asking for a quick correction, but it turns out it’s the weekend for them. It’s not their priority," he wrote.

According to him, Russians are actively sharing these images online.

Following the public reaction, Google representatives did contact Ukrainian experts and reported that they were working on correcting the issue with the images showing the locations of Ukrainian military systems.
