The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine will cooperate with Microsoft on documenting the war crimes of the Russian Federation, and the Xbox game service will be officially launched in Ukraine, Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said.
According to him, Ukrainian accounts will appear on Xbox, and the Ukrainian language will appear on the consoles.
