Ingress Help for Ukraine Agents
I would like to propose that we give special support to our Ukrainian agents. I would like to suggest that they receive a 6-month CORE subscription, a continuation of their hacking streak or a suspension of it and perhaps a special loadout kit so they can come back to play again when they are safely able again.
I would open the discussion to the community whether these are good suggestions or if we have other ideas on how to support our agents in UA.

Well, a pause of hacking streak sounds more rational than C.O.R.E. giveaway (such giveaway sounds strange because it looks like incentive rather than support and actually encourages playing more heavily). This may compare to the pause of the expiration date of frequent flyer/hotel loyalty program due to COVID.
But if this is really going to be applied, I have to introduce some whataboutism here and request for your support to apply the same "support" to other players around the world suffering from ongoing **** conflicts. There definitely are players in those areas who deserve the support as well, aren't there?

I hear what you're saying. I think there is a difference between chronic and acute warfare. I guess a CORE subscription might be too much but I also think Ukrainian players have contributed a lot over the years to ingress and some kind of special recognition (one off gesture) might be a nice way to acknowledge that and to help them.
I say: remove all wayspots glorifying Putin. Maybe also Stalin.
If possible: prioritize wayspots glorifying freedom (for example: faster review of nominations, mass upload from a database, make them gyms in PokeMonGo)
I can't see Niantic tagging all Putin/Stalin portals. Labor intensive, would need to be crowdsourced.
Nope - they'd just use the same algorithm they used to remove statues glorifying the Confederacy in the U.S. (without removing any historical markers).
Are there monuments to Putin? Оо
What about temporarily suspending our CORE subscriptions and sending that money to relief agencies helping Ukraine during this period?
