Ukraine's youngest cabinet minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, has been leaning on tech giants to boycott Russia, urging hackers on to the attack, and getting Elon Musk to move satellites to benefit Ukraine. And most of it has been done from a smartphone.
Mr Fedorov, 31 - Ukraine’s minister for digital transformation - is currently in an underground shelter in a secret location in Kyiv.
But while his friend, the country's president, rallies forces for the physical war above, Mykhailo Fedorov and his team are waging a different kind of war on Russia.
Using his preferred weapon - social media - Mr Fedorov has been urging CEOs of big businesses to cut ties with Moscow. He's also taken the unprecedented move of setting up a volunteer "IT Army of Ukraine" to launch cyber-attacks against "the enemy".
His work is being celebrated as a key part of the war effort, but not all of his campaigning is being welcomed internationally.
How significant is the Visa and Mastercard suspension?
Payments giants Visa and Mastercard are pulling out of the Russian market in protest at its invasion of Ukraine. Together, the two companies control 90% of credit and debit payments in the world, outside of China.
Russian-issued Mastercard or Visa cards won't work abroad, and foreign-issued cards won't work inside the country.
