Government commits to keeping 70% of mobile base stations running for 3 days without power

The Ukrainian government has pledged to maintain the operation of at least 70% of mobile base stations for a duration of 72 hours without power supply, utilizing alternative energy sources, both this year and in the following year. The initiative also includes the planned introduction of fifth-generation (5G) mobile technology in Lviv, Kharkiv, Borodianka, Kyiv, and Odesa starting in 2026.

These objectives are overseen by the Ministry of Digital Transformation. In 2027, the government aims to enact legislation on Diia.City Invest, establish three venture funds, and provide state aid to at least 30 entities within the innovation ecosystem. Additional tasks for the same year involve expanding investment in Ukrainian defense companies from $220 million to $350 million, financing at least 400 military development projects, and ensuring access to priority public services for citizens and businesses.

This encompasses digitizing at least 50 public services through electronic means, streamlining processes, and integrating state information resources. Furthermore, the government plans to incorporate the Mriya educational app in over 5,000 schools and expand it to include Mriya Preschool, alongside the development of AI modules for the educational product.

The Ministry's operational goals also include the deployment of an e-democracy tool (eDumka) on the Diia portal for communication between citizens and local self-government bodies and military administrations.
