Kateryna Chernohorenko, a deputy defense minister, during a meeting in Kyiv with the delegation of the Ministry of Defense of Estonia, said that Ukraine calls on foreign partners to join IT coalition projects.
The deputy minister thanked Estonia for its support in the fight against Russian aggression, for its leadership in creating an IT coalition, and for advocating this direction among other countries.
According to her, Ukraine needs asymmetric solutions in response to Russian invasion, in particular technological innovations, as well as interoperable combat systems.
The strengthening of the efficiency of the Ukrainian army is facilitated by the simplification and digitalization of processes. At the same time, the ministry is developing online services that will be available to Ukrainian military personnel.
The IT Coalition is a group of countries within the Ramstein group under the leadership of Estonia and Luxembourg, which supports developments in the field of IT, communications, and cyber security.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

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. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. 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.
