On Thurdsay, Ukraine’s defense ministry has unveiled the new “Army+” app, which is set to ‘digitize’ and streamline paperwork for the military, saving them huge numbers of man-hours. At this point, the app allows electronic reports.
“Starting today, August 8, the ‘Army+’ app is officially operational,” announced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “It begins with essential functions and will soon include additional features. Right now, you can submit electronic reports quickly, replacing what used to take hours or even days.”
The app will soon get such features as electronic military IDs and surveys allowing troops to grade their unit provisioning.
“The goal of this app is to free the Ukrainian army from tedious paperwork,” said Zelensky adding that the plan will help “commanders and soldiers to focus on their duties, and not outdated bureaucracy and paperwork.”
Apart from e-reporting, “Army+” will feature documentation processing and other administrative tools. Plans include training courses, educational programs, and secure communication channels for reliable interaction among military personnel.
The app is now available for download on both the App Store and Google Play.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
