Ukraine plans to use its military technology experience and digital innovation to significantly expand high-tech exports, including artificial intelligence, over the next several years. Digital Transformation Minister Oksana Fertschuk said Kyiv is pursuing cooperation with the US, other countries and international institutions after maintaining digital services during the war against Russia’s invasion, now in its fifth year. Ukraine has become a test bed for new weaponry and already helps other countries develop drone defenses. Fertschuk said similar expertise could support civilian sectors if investment and appropriate regulation accelerate innovation. Russian strikes have damaged dozens of telecom and data-center locations, but redundancies across sites and cloud providers have kept digital services running. World Bank officials have expressed interest in Ukraine’s digital tools for education, telecommunications and social services, with further discussions planned in Washington.
