The German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in cooperation with StrategEast invite you to a public discussion: Ukrainian Digital Resistance to Russian Aggression
Thursday June 30, 10:00–11:00 AM (CEST)
via Zoom
When Vladimir Putin launched Russia’s campaign of aggression, Ukraine had a highly developed IT industry and its process of digitalization was well underway. After Russian troops invaded, Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation shifted into wartime mode, prioritizing projects related to repelling Russian aggression, protecting civilians, helping refugees, and keeping the Ukrainian economy alive.
Please join us for a presentation of the Ukrainian Digital Resistance to Russian Aggression Report, which was prepared by StrategEast with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and NewAge. We will discuss the role that Ukraine’s IT industry is playing in the conflict and will play in post-war recovery as well as how international institutions and other countries can best support Ukraine.
Opening remarks by Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine
