Ride-sharing service Uber will distribute ice cream for free in 250 cities around the world tomorrow, including three cities in Russia.
On July 24, new Uber subscribers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Ekaterinburg will be able to order an Uber Ice Cream set of four Mövenpick ice cream portions. The ice cream, which comes in chocolate, strawberry-raspberry, walnut and tiramisu flavors, is free, but users will have to pay a delivery charge of 250 rubles ($4.38).
In Moscow, delivery will be available from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. within the Third Ring Road.
Uber users make the order via the Uber app, where they will have the option to choose "Ice Cream" and insert the delivery address.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
