Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine

🌐 Ukraine Blocks Russian Influence on Global Telecommunications Development The Ministry of Digital Transformation team participated in the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (ITU WTSA), where the Ukrainian delegation achieved a key goal: blocking Russian candidates from leadership positions in ITU research groups for the period of 2025–2028. 🤝🏻 A Decision for the Future With the support of 40 countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, Japan, France, and Poland, Russian representatives are now limited in their access to global telecommunications processes. They will only be able to observe research outcomes, without any influence over the setting of standards or the development of telecommunications technology. Why does this matter? The ITU is a specialized UN agency that establishes standards in telecommunications, manages the distribution of radio frequencies and satellite orbits, and assists countries in developing telecom infrastructure. With 193 member states, ITU standards form the foundation for the global telecommunications industry. Blocking representatives of an aggressor state from leading these processes strengthens the protection of international law and global telecommunications security.

🔝 Diia is one of the world’s best inventions, according to TIME Each year, TIME evaluates 200 products that improve the lives of millions of people and revolutionize the whole sphere. In the TIME Best Inventions 2024 list, Diia was recognized in the Apps & Software category. The digital state, which began with the idea of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is proving its effectiveness in international ratings, not for the first time. In 5 years, Diia has gone from an application with documents to a real SuperApp. We were the first in the world to digitize the entire marriage procedure and equate electronic documents with paper ones. The Diia app is already used by 21+ million Ukrainians. And so that other countries can explore our experience and use the best solutions to create their products, as Diia became open source in March 2023. This achievement is a symbol of Ukraine's recognition on the world stage as a digital leader. Thanks to everyone who shares this journey with us. We continue to create the digital future together 💫 https://lnkd.in/d_hG3gtR

🇪🇪 Reliable digital partnership: the team of the Ministry of Digital Transformation met with the new Minister of Justice and Digital Affairs of Estonia Mykhailo Fedorov and Valeriya Ionan held an online meeting with Liisa Pakosta. Annely Kolk, Ambassador of Estonia to Ukraine, also joined the meeting. We discussed what will be the focus of joint work and the priorities for the development of digitalization for the Estonian side. More than 5 years ago, the experience of digitalization of Estonia became an example and inspiration for building the most convenient digital state in Ukraine. Based on the Estonian X-Road, we created Trembita - a system for exchanging information between registers, which became the basis of the Diia. When developing uResidency Ukraine, we also analyzed the experience of Estonian e-residency. Vice versa, the team of the Ministry of Digital Transformation helped Estonia with the development of the pilot of the state application Mriik. We will continue to work within the framework of the Tallinn Mechanism - an international format for supporting Ukraine's civil infrastructure, which allows provide technological assistance and strengthens cyber resilience. It is the Estonian team, who leads the work of the office front and helps lobby Ukraine's interests within the coalition. In addition, we want to develop a joint international track - promoting the best govtech solutions xRoad and Diia. But we will continue to exchange experiences in developing a digital state.
