On September 4, 2026, Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky announced the government's intention to create a separate state application based on the 'Diia' platform. According to him, the new service will contain up-to-date information on air raid alerts, as well as on the movement of 'Shaheds,' drones, and missiles. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement by the head of the Cabinet of Ministers. Thus, the state intends to consolidate all data on aerial threats into a single digital product that will become a continuation of the 'Diia' ecosystem already familiar to citizens.
A Single Information Space from the Primary Source
The key goal of the new service, in the prime minister's words, is to create a "single information space on current threats." Koretsky emphasized that this is not just about the technical function of alerting, but also about the principle of how information is delivered: the data should come "from the primary source, from the government." This means that the state is striving to become the sole official channel through which citizens receive information about the nature and scale of the aerial danger, bypassing unverified messages on social media and messengers.
Two Levels of Danger and Mobile Shelters
The new application is being integrated into a broader package of Cabinet of Ministers solutions. The day before, the government approved updated rules for responding to alerts and introduced two levels of aerial danger: "yellow" will be declared during drone raids, while "red" will be declared in the event of a missile or ballistic threat and mass shelling. In parallel, local communities have been instructed to accelerate the construction of additional mobile shelters designed to protect against debris. The digital application will thus become the informational core of this two-tier alert system.
Context: New Strike Tactics and the Strain on the City
The changes are being implemented against the backdrop of a shift in Russian strike tactics: according to Ukrainian authorities, the enemy has moved to the continuous launch of jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicles throughout the day. Constant alerts have already led to a transport collapse in Kyiv and created significant problems for businesses. In this situation, the need for a clear, structured, and official channel of information on the nature of the threat becomes not just a convenience, but an element of the everyday organization of city life.
Contradictory Data
The publications of different outlets contain discrepancies in the degree of certainty of their wording. RBC-Ukraine and 'Pravda' report that an application "will be created" on the basis of 'Diia,' relying on the prime minister's direct statement. At the same time, 'Slovo y Dilo' uses a more cautious formulation — "may be created" — indicating that the decision is still of a project nature. Moreover, none of the sources provides specific launch dates, technical details of the service's operation, or the procedure for its integration with existing alert systems. Thus, the fact of the statement is confirmed, but the degree of readiness and the timeline of the project remain uncertain.
What Is Known About the Launch
As of September 4, 2026, the prime minister has not specified either the exact launch dates of the application or the technical parameters of its operation. Only the intention to create a separate product based on 'Diia' and its functional purpose — informing about alerts and the movement of aerial targets — have been officially confirmed. Implementation details, including the mechanism for data verification and interaction with local authorities, will be disclosed additionally.
