Pussy Riot Occupies Tech Firm Ubiquiti, Protesting Role in Alleged Russian Military Support
The activist collective Pussy Riot staged a protest at Ubiquiti's Manhattan office, accusing the tech company of aiding the Russian military's communications in Ukraine.
Masked activists from Pussy Riot occupied the Manhattan offices of Ubiquiti on Friday, protesting the tech company’s alleged “role in Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine,” according to a statement from the group.
In a video statement, Pussy Riot member Nadya explained that the Russian military has been relying on Ubiquiti to communicate with troops on the frontline, thereby assisting in “thousands of documented cases of war crimes by the Russian army.”

"Since the disabling of Starlink, the Russian Military has a few options for communications on the battlefield – according to President Zelensky ‘Russians are looking for alternatives and will build them.’ Exasperated Russian soldiers exclaimed ‘All we’ve got left now are radios, cables and pigeons,'" Pussy Riot stated.
"But Ubiquiti’s hardware has emerged as the favorite replacement – with countless units now doing fundraisers for these long range bridges – which beam communication up to 15km to the frontline. There are thousands of documented cases of war crimes by the russian army – targeting civilians, killing pows, raping women – civilians and prisoners, mass graves the list goes on."
The collective gathered outside Ubiquiti’s corporate office on Friday to protest and deliver three demands: “Obey US sanctions, acknowledge use by Russian Army, and work with Ukraine to stop this use.”
Shortly after the protest, Pussy Riot reported that Ubiquiti responded by having its partner company, Square, “deactivate the account we use to sell T-shirts at our gigs.” They criticized this action on social media, stating, “Going after Russian feminist activists in exile, but not after Russian war criminals. Cringe.”
