It sounds like he has way too much money and time on his hands.

This is definitely senior goons at Block engaging in some opportunistic PR.

has said he does not want the company’s A.I. to be used to surveil Americans or in autonomous weapons, saying this could “undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.”

This is how we know this is all PR bullshit (perhaps crafted ad-hoc, but still essentially a propaganda operation).

This was probably a requirement of some sort. I doubt the government would bother with something like this on their own initiative.

That being said, there are some really good sources for “unofficial” content in Ukraine. All the major international and local streaming content and major blu-ray (Rips/Remuxes) release in one spot and with speeds that allow streaming torrents (at least in Ukraine).

Some of the more niche content can be difficult to find (smaller country, local sites have requirement that Ukrainian dub/VO/subs must be included in addition to the original audio track), but you’re not going to find that content on mainstream US media sources.
