Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation has summarized the results of its first 100 days of work amid the war. According to the agency, over this period, Ukrainians used the state 'Diia' app more than 32 million times, and the world's first state AI agent, Diia.AI, helped 3.7 million citizens. The Brave1 defense cluster financed frontline developments worth over UAH 963 million, while Diia.City residents transferred about UAH 20 billion in taxes to the budget. Simultaneously, the ministry prepared communication infrastructure for the winter and launched over 40 new digital services. ### Figures that change the picture: from 'Diia' to Diia.City According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the technology sector has become the foundation of the country's defense capability, with IT services confidently holding the top spot in Ukraine's service exports. The Diia.City space continues to expand—over the 100 days, 421 new residents joined, including 78 defense tech developers and 17 AI companies. Over the three months, residents paid about UAH 20 billion in taxes, which, according to the ministry, directly finance the Armed Forces, social obligations, and city reconstruction. The Diia.AI agent, which has already been used by more than 10 million Ukrainians overall, provided assistance to 3.7 million citizens over the past three months: a user simply describes their life situation, and the system guides them directly to the required procedure. ### Brave1 Defense Cluster: From combat experience to civilian life Under the Brave1 defense cluster, 116 new grants worth over UAH 963 million were financed, specifically for the development of radars and air-to-air missiles. The Brave1 Invest Portal was launched, providing Ukrainian engineers with direct access to verified international investors, and together with NATO, the first joint UNITE – Brave NATO competition worth EUR 10 million was launched for drone counteraction projects. Combat experience, according to the ministry's statement, is quickly transferred to the civilian sphere: an experimental project for delivering transplant drugs, donor organs, and blood by drones has been launched, alongside the 'Innovative Prosthetics' grant program worth up to UAH 8 million for the production of bionic prosthetics in Ukraine. ### Communication resilience and state data protection Ahead of winter, the ministry, together with operators and providers, prepared critical communication infrastructure: 92% of base stations can operate for up to 8 hours on batteries, and 70% for more than three days on generators. Optical internet using xPON technology, which functions even during blackouts, has already been installed in 58% of households. For territories with ground infrastructure destroyed by shelling, the Direct to Cell technology—transmitting satellite signals directly to regular smartphones—is being jointly tested. State registries are protected by a distributed architecture: there is no single 'database of everything', data is protected by the 'Trembita' system, key data centers have been moved underground, and backup copies are stored in secure overseas clouds. ### Sovereign AI and the 'Agent State' According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Ukraine is making a leap from service digitalization to building an 'agent state' model based on its own artificial intelligence. Sovereign AI, as envisioned by the agency, guarantees that algorithms take the Ukrainian context into account, operate in the Ukrainian language, and protect personal data. To achieve this, the AI Factory hardware system has been deployed and the open Ukrainian LLM Leaderboard has been presented; the infrastructure is being built in partnership with NVIDIA, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, AWS, and Anthropic. ### International support and integration into the EU digital market The country's cyber resilience is also supported by foreign partners: under the Tallinn Mechanism, over EUR 32 million has been attracted to protect civilian infrastructure, the World Bank is allocating up to $42 million for backup data processing centers, and the governments of Sweden, the UK, and the US are directing resources toward fiber optics for frontline communities and strengthening cybersecurity specialists. The next stage of the ministry's work focuses on three areas: developing defense technologies and communication resilience, building sovereign AI, and further digitalizing public services with Ukraine's integration into the single EU digital market. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Создаем технологическое будущее во время войны: 100 дней работы Минцифры](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/stvoryuemo-tehnologichne-maybutne-pid-chas-1794217129.html) - The primary source is an author's column by the Minister of Digital Transformation.
