Technology companies descended on a defense conference in Munich this weekend, as their role in supporting Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion into a second year becomes more prominent. 

The Munich Security Conference is sponsored by companies such as Microsoft and Google, as well as traditional defense players, and hosted world leaders and lawmakers during the three-day event in the Bavarian city.
