internet and communication in conditions of a complete blackout and which state websites were attacked by russian hackers? deputy prime minister and minister of digital transformation mykhailo fedorov told exclusively about everything. every minute together on all fronts greetings my name is maria skyba and today we are in the studio ukraine mykhailo fedorov mykhailo fedorov deputy prime minister minister of digital transformation of ukraine 31 years old graduated from the zaporizhia national university joined the civil service, the founder and general director of the internet agency in 2019 managed the digital direction of the election campaign of volodymyr zelenskyi, the people's deputy of the ninth convocation to the position of head of digital mines was appointed in 2019 under the government of oleksiy honcharuk and continued his work with the government of denys shmyhal is the youngest minister in the history of ukrainian politics, the initiator of the electronic time of public services, mr. ministers, i welcome

you to the studio. thank you for taking the time and coming with many questions, because now the information front and the technology front are one among the most important, they recently gave hope to all ukrainians that we will soon have something and how to fight against iranian drones, this was a few weeks ago, do you now have an answer to this question, what is it and what is the stage of development of these technologies? well, you can already see what the result is, what percentage of downed many technologies were used for this, but there was more about the fact that in the context of the fact that we are currently developing the drone army project and there is a war going on, the technology means that we are already developing drones that will be shot down drones i am sure that our enemy is working on this, that is, we are talking about the fact that a technological war is a war of technologies, it is moving to a new level, and therefore now we have a lot of new developments , the enemy is working a lot on this, and in the future we still have a lot more to come many new stages will also

use uavs not only to attack energy infrastructure facilities, but also on the battlefield. how long will it take for this technology to be perfect ? march will take place, that is, now many new developments are already in the process and many new portotypes of products, so i think that march will be such a demonstration month from the point of view of technology. well, as kyrylo bohdano vka says no. already from our military, give us information technology, recently the sterlings ended up again in ukraine, more likely they did not end up, we bought them from poland, they came, tell us how many of them, who put them for what, yes, in general, we have already received approx.

25,000 and if you count this lot 25,000 sterling from the spacex company thanks to financial assistance to our partners, this is the minister of digital transformation of the european union, what is starling doing he helped he helps to get the internet where there is no mobile connection and where there is no fixed connection, that is, thanks a satellite in the field or in the forest is not important, if there is access to the sky, you can get high-quality internet, and first of all, we use satellite internet in order to help medical infrastructure energy infrastructure in order to support information systems thanks to the internet, but also of course , our military actively uses satellite communication, and you know this is an important factor that also affects the course of the war because it helps the military a lot, this is our competitive advantage, but about specific military topics we will talk after our victory, i agree with stalinka for the military, we close the topic if sterling is for the civilian population, for the people , because now it is well, let's say an active purchase

even just any citizen of any ukrainian, how popular is it? how do you rate such advantages? now we see that thousands of ukrainians buy thousands of terminals every month and the number is increasing, and even this sex is not uh, there is not enough time to quickly deliver for citizens sterling, the parties we receive are of course primarily for points of inviolability, so that during temporary blackouts, i hope that our citizens will have a connection, but the citizens are also actively buying this connection, we will talk about the connection later tell me how the purchase of these sterling systems is agreed upon. who do you agree with? how does this happen? i know that you personally communicate with ilonomask, yes or no. yes, we have direct communication, and i communicate with him. our teams communicate with each other . we communicate directly with myself. by the spacex company and recently, before a technical blackout that happened, it seems, in

december, i wrote to ilona that we urgently need a batch of 10,000, we need to logistically find this batch, we need to deliver it , we need a better price, and he helped us with that to do and the funds our polish colleagues have already helped us find, and thanks to the prime minister of poland, the minister responsible for digitization we received this batch, only you seem to be grateful for the fact that we were able to carry out this certain mission and receive this batch , do we owe something to each other? no, we buy everything, but we buy it at a special price, it is lower than eh, in general, they sell similar stalinkas for citizens, for business, and we also form unique batches eh, that is, 10,000 is a very large batch and an unprecedented large batch to receive, let's say, with one delivery there are so many starlinks, that's why there are

special conditions for us. colleagues at the ministers of digital transformation, that is, the states do not pay anything at all for the old ones. we received 25. well, let's say 30-35,000 already, the totality of all the pages that were attracted by the ministry of finance, and we did not pay anything for it from the state budget, zero state funds in in principle, we launched the actions that way. for us, it is organic to move with limited resources. there are also needs in each industry. but i will tell you that today we are sufficiently staffed and feel confident. operators, our connection will last for 10-12 hours if there is

a blackout, what is the reason for this, i.e. have we got any new systems, is this information correct? as of today, we have digitized all the towers in our country that stop to work if there is no electricity, we understand what the situation is for each tower. and there are more than 30,000 of you with batteries and generators, how to organize logistics, how, as an operator, they organize the logistics of powering the towers through generators, what happens with fixed operators, that is, such systematic work is currently being built to ensure the stable operation of operators during the blackout , therefore, we cannot say that there will be 100% communication throughout the country, but the basic one so that you can call each other and at least call an ambulance, all this will be separate we are developing points of failure, as i have already said, stalinki is the first place that points of unbreakability are being sent. this applies to all operators working in ukraine, are there any exceptions, of course, now work is going on with all operators, plus

national roaming works, if one operator does not work for you, you can automatically switch to another operator whose tower works in this area, therefore it is impossible to 100% ensure the quality of quality communication of citizens during the absence of electricity, but it is very basic for that in order to continue to function, we will deal with all of this . we will not have to check it , but if it happens, we know that at least we will call from the point of invincibility, what is important, at least it will be possible, it will be cool, mikhail, after the beginning of the invasion, we know that the budget of the ministry is very, very decreased by how much 80 86 86% cut off the budget how do you deal with it now what has changed in your work as a start -up we did not have state funding to launch the action so we had a lot of people come with businesses we are already used to it you know

start-up projects with a minimal budget and therefore diva said her result helps us more donors helps businesses more and thus we attract external resources in order to develop projects well, for example, this year we have to train people who want to to get an it profession and use the state budget, our development budget was cut, we found a company that financed thousands of people who learned new specialties and started working in it, so we have goals that need to be fulfilled 100% public services online is 95% of citizens have access to the internet, people understand what digital literacy is and know how to use technology and increase it-it-share in e-e gdp of our country and we, despite the resources, the lack of resources, despite the full-scale war, we will achieve somewhere we will achieve of these goals despite all the barriers that exist and many donors help us in this,

do you think that most ministries can be such a startup? i think let's survive for -86%, this is a very big challenge and important it is necessary to reduce the budgets of all ministries , it is necessary to work, to be more efficient , to work faster, and to optimize it, because business is difficult now, when the military is doing it, it is possible, in order to protect our ukraine , the state is also needed, it is necessary for the state to be more efficient, fast, about the information front, that this is one of the most important fronts, we have to fight propaganda, was the ministry subject to such specific hacker attacks, what what did the russians try to destroy, destroy, intervene in our system let's start with the fact that the first world cyber ​​war is happening now, when the enemy openly attacks in cyberspace, we

defend ourselves and counterattack. of course , we are constantly under attack, but we were able to show in practice that the construction of our digital state is sustainable how we launched it, how it works, the fact that during a full-scale war and cyber war, we launch new services every week, that there is no data leakage - this shows that we have done the right architecture, that we are able to defend ourselves and thanks to our army, we are able to counterattack and also carry out strikes on the infrastructure of the russian federation, but it was or it is constantly happening constant attacks, but we successfully defend ourselves and will defend ourselves successfully, did they try to hack your personal pages hey scanning of all personal email pages of phone numbers ac- of accounts there on social networks and so on, all this was before the start of a full-scale invasion, that is, spam was sent out, that is, there were various tools involved, which

tried to lead to the fact that russia got access to our smartphones, but this did not happen because elementary digital literacy and we are officials. by the way, she taught everyone at all levels digital literacy and a deeper understanding of how technology works, this allowed us to do without problems hacking the phone of a person who has contacts of ilona mask , for example a very interesting initiative. do you think so, but i understand security a little more than average citizens, and therefore i have additional tools against additional threats, right, sir, let's talk about initiatives already after a full-scale invasion , the united 24 platform, tell us about its successes, this is a platform that helps to invest, collect money in order to help ukraine, the army in the social sphere

, anywhere, what achievements we already have on united 24 - this is a fundraising platform and was initiated by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi and the task of the platform to accumulate donations from all over the world in order to spend them precisely not on the needs that our citizens and our military need today, because we have and many others, we will not name international organizations and they can spend 50% of donations on administrative expenses, that is, they pay salaries, they are in no hurry to spend these funds on the needs of citizens, and united 24 does not have such expenses, 100% of donations go to the needs of ukrainians, and very quickly, and in a few days, she is here a car can already go to nato or soon an ambulance will be at the front, that is why we have already collected more than 250 million dollars from all over the world, most of all will be donated to the armed forces of ukraine and uh, we have left ambassadors of famous people, imagine dragons, for example

, the brand, to the fact that they also raised funds for the needs of ukraine, and this is, from one point of view, fast, fast help to urgent needs , and from the other, from the other side, it is an opportunity to attract attention and maintain the interest of this world in the war so that we are not forgot continued to help ukraine and now we see the video by the way these are ambassadors of united 24 now you can also who was in space and today he helps to collect funds andriy shevchenko he became the first ambassador and he is very active and collects funds now in irpin, for example, the stadium is being restored, and they found these people themselves or through your assistants, but still more contacts about actively . activity of the fundraising platform and by the way, thanks to the platform, we

launched the drone army project and now we have already bought 1,577 complexes for the needs of the armed forces. this is a significant contribution to what is happening today on the battlefield and in saving the lives of our military and we will now develop a new stage projector army drones the development of strike-strike drones of ukrainian production therefore united 24 became the foundation of such and such a platform for many initiatives that began to develop independently already without funding united 24 and who among the vice-pastors surprised you the most or amused the most maybe there was something that you didn't even expect such help from a person, it's probably snyder, he's a historian , he's famous, who's the only vitisnyder, who's he he is just giving lectures on the history of ukraine at the school and he is very active, he is currently collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars for anti-martyrs in the specialty

systems that help bring down martyrs martyrs and he is very active, he involves other famous people in collecting for this lot, e-e, recently, hillary quinton, for example published a post in support of his lotto fundraiser, that's why he surprised, to be honest, and he's a great fellow, a friend of ukraine. and in general, as of now, 256 have been collected, almost certainly 260 million dollars, but we continue without stopping because it's important we see that the army is also being helped and we understand that for one donation from some famous person you can buy even several cars, several drones or some kind of large equipment, the only platform that involved the deloid consulting company and every every dollar, every center, every hryvnia, every penny , everything will go to the audit of an independent e-e global companies so that all donors from around the world, first of all, ukrainians, understand that everything works transparently so that there

are no questions to the administrators, to the ministries that purchase, the application of the action that you have already mentioned very it started well, but like all of us, the war and we realized that we really need to be on the phone, have technology, have documents, how is it changing now with a full-scale invasion, in general, the functions of this application , in general, how does it work now, what has changed, the task of the government in general is to solve people's problems. and even better, -e predict problems and launch services that will help citizens receive services and quality services more accurately and e-e when the full-scale invasion began we also responded to the needs that began to arise people, for example, quick money in order to evacuate there or, for example, to fix damaged property, and we launched similar services that help to do just that, after that, television, e.e., unemployment assistance, radio

, e.e., a lot of information about the place of registration appeared in action that is, many new products for internally displaced persons, that is, obtaining status and changing address and closing status. that is, we began to respond to the problems that arise and thanks to the work we did before that, which we did for 2.5 years touch, we were able to not just somehow stop there and slow down. and we, on the contrary, work even faster. because the service is protected, it does not save personal data, and thus we now launch something new every week. it is possible to make it so that it was, well, let's say it was perceived as an official document, we recently launched cases in canada to get driver's licenses, replace it, you can use the application, action, we made the integration from poland

we can even spread the technical passport for cars in the polish application in general, that is, shareit documents between countries , so they live abroad, so this is only the beginning of such international work of the application , we have ambitious plans in this direction. but of course, we focus on the needs of ukrainians who are currently in ukraine who are currently in need of high-quality services, barrier-free operation , what about there, what about the actual functions, how the state can help people, the main things that are in this application, what you can use there what's new, it's not a mobile application, it's part of the portal, we did this project together with first lady olena zelenska, and we accumulated all the needs of people who need accessibility, who need better service , and there's all the information on how to get benefits, how to get social benefits, as well as articles about how

to behave with a little baby who has just been born for young parents and that is , there is all the information accumulated on this portal that helps to find answers , specialists were included there profile of course certain groups worked in each of the directions and you can find an answer to any question there and get a service separately, or there is a link to a portal where you can get a service , all this can be seen on your website, the website of the ministry of digital transformation itself , everything is described or on the portal, mr. mykhailo it is very important to note about the program there is a house , because now there are these people who are forced to e.e. they are displaced persons who have lost their homes who want to register in order to rebuild who will need this function there is a house there is a house - it is preferential mortgage primarily for the military , for doctors, and for teachers, it is possible either through the application, or through the portal, leave

an application and get an answer from the bank, whether they give you a mortgage for what amount, and choose an apartment for yourself, primary market, secondary market, it doesn’t matter support, this is a preferential mortgage. furthermore, the ministry of economy has a development plan for this program, because it turned out to be very popular, and now, in the first month, 15,000 applications out of 7,000 were approved by the application banks, that is, there is a demand for this service in the future. of course, the service will develop and it will be possible for internally displaced persons as well, and in the future it would be ideal to reach these ukrainians in general, but for now the program works precisely for these categories that i named and you need to communicate according to the announcements. the ministry of economy is a revolutionary service in general, because before it was necessary to go to state bodies, there to banks, collect certificates , send them to the bank, wait for a call to be told can you take out a mortgage if you are

married, in general, both of you need to do this now all it takes is a few clicks of the application and the husband and wife are remote can even do it and are synchronized, the application is sent to the bank and maybe to five banks at the same time and you get the result or what amount and when you can get this mortgage but you are on someone you take this system, launch it and step by step something works that snow and tried the algorithm for launching each service, i want to tell you that there are about 45-50 different stages, one of such stages is very important, this is the stage of beta testing we take real people who is really the target audience of this product, it is very understandable, it is possible to use technology on the internet and so on. well, it is always a little better understood because they have already been able to register and do testing. but we find problems there that need to be recorded, improved and solved, and every service that we are launching a cool e-e ukrainians have received certain funds in

order to start or continue their own business, which numbers, which amounts, are we going to continue with grants for the development of our own business and we need to create jobs, there are certain professions , areas of business, where you can get this grant , you can get 250 thousand hryvnias for the development of a cool business, several billion hryvnias have already been paid for the creation of thousands of jobs, and indeed during the war - this is an important help for entrepreneurs to start their own business or continue your own business, and we see that the program is also very relevant, more and more customers are becoming aware of the program, and the ministry of digital transformation has developed functionality on the portal in order to any entrepreneur or person who wants to become an entrepreneur could register and

receive these funds, and this task is to control how a person disposes of these funds from the ministry that forms the policy, this is the ministry of economy, and it is already in charge , it can then fix it somehow , propose changes, make any suggestions for improving the program, it is our task to organize the technical part and make it so that a person who dreams of his own business does not think about how difficult it is to fill out an application and how long will it take for the answer from bank a to which they most often want to ask for money from the state to invest, there are separate directions, for example, there are also greenhouses and everything related to agriculture, depending on the season, because the program is already running for the first month, priorities change but we are talking about a small enterprise, about a small , small company or startups where not many people work yet, and for it we have a separate program and two weeks before the war we launched 10 this is a special tax regime

and the legal regime for technology companies , we reduced taxes by five times, and during this time, well, we also introduced many investment tools so that it was possible to quickly attract funds, and two weeks before the war, we launched 35,000 it specialists today. in the it industry there are more than 400 companies and what industry - this is the only industry that continues to grow despite the fact that there is a full-scale war in ukraine , that is, not in this industry, it's not that it started to earn less, but it started to grow further therefore, it seems to me that from the point of view of building an ecosystem for the it industry, we have already done a lot, and there are 10 female engineers where we teach it reform in education. that is, we systematically see how to increase the share of the it industry in the gdp of our country and

we are moving this year, there will be many new projects in this direction, the question is who actually paid taxes, worked in ukraine , this is how it happens, this is a necessary condition and we can automatically see that if this does not happen, then there is no problem with this. what else something new is waiting for us in action. we plan to launch services in almost every direction this year, and we have already launched the submission of an application for marriage. in the future, we will digitize responses. we will also work with notaries and in the first quarter plan to launch notary services for that so that part of the services can also be received online , we are working in the direction of electronic excise tax, we are working on car services for

motorists, very soon we will launch online car forwarding. there will be no need to go to the center of the ministry of internal affairs, what will also be for car users as an important service. well, i think that this year we will complete the digitization of all the most popular services in ukraine. we have already launched the change of registration location, which is the most popular service for obtaining an extract about the registration location. that is , our plan for building a digital state is moving according to the schedule, mr. minister, you deprive the jobs are simply thousands of workers who work in different fields of activity. what to do with it or the question is how long will it take us to be on the phone at this rate of movement, everything is up to us absolutely all the documents will be there, we won’t have to go to uh. we even calculated what economic anti-corruption effect from uh, it ’s still 16 billion hryvnias saved today, or let’s say saved by ukrainians or unpaid in the form of various bribes and

the potential of services that we have already launched 48 billion. that is, we calculated how many hours a person saves when, for example, he sends an application for business registration in 10 minutes and the business is automatically registered, there is no need to find an address, go, spend on it is a day to submit documents, a day to collect documents, where is it to pick up documents, that is, there is a certain economic effect, and there is an anti-corruption effect, for example, in the construction sector, when we started the transformation of this sector, the register of all buildings in ukraine was in private hands in europe, and even there there were hints for of a person who put buildings into operation how many dollars to take for each square meter now we have launched a fully electronic system where every action is logged that is, we can see exactly what the person did, the electronic signature is all the actions fixed and now you can start building small ones
