The '''Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine'''
=====Digital ID=====
{{See also|Digital ID}}
The Ukrainian government in 2020 launched Diia, a digital app that combines identity card, passport, license, vaccination record, registrations, insurance, health reimbursements and social benefits. In Ukranian, the word “Diia” means “action,” but it's also an acronym in that language, standing for “The State and Me.” Digital passports and other official documents are now considered legally equivalent to their paper versions, making Ukraine the first country to accomplish this. Some of the documents available via the app include citizens’ national identification card, a biometric passport, drivers’ licenses, vehicle registration certificates and insurance policies, voter ID, tax documents, birth certificates and [[COVID vaccine]] passport.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/ukraine-government-converting-digital-id-system-wartime-tool/</ref>
''Wired'' magazine described Ukraine's digital ministry, which operates the Diia app, as a “formidable war machine.” The Diia app includes the following war-related features:
*A quick way to donate money to the Ukrainian military, including via cryptocurrency.
*A chatbot for submitting images and video of Russian troop movements in Ukraine.
*24-hour streaming access to television stations and newscasts from Ukraine.
*A chatbox where users can submit photos and videos that resembles a similar tool employed by [[New York City]] fascist authorities in 2020 for the reporting of [[social distancing]] violations.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/04/us/social-distancing-rules-coronavirus.html</ref>
Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, was praised by the [[World Economic Forum]] (WEF) for his work, in establishing the Diia app.<ref>https://www.weforum.org/people/mykhailo-fedorov</ref> Fedorov called for a crew of developers, designers, marketers and “security specialists” to join a volunteer “IT Army” — with 300,000 volunteers having been attracted. The online army's tasks include sharing the IP addresses of Russian websites and companies, in order for them to be targeted by [[DDoS]] (directed denial of service) attacks in an effort to knock them offline.
Fedorov described [[Twitter]] as “part of our war effort.”<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60608222</ref> Fedorov described the digital battlefield as “our home turf,” while ''The New York Times'' also reported on how Fedorov “has turned technology, cryptocurrency and social media into modern weapons of war.” According to the ''Times'', Fedorov stated: “They [the Russians] have failed to notice that… governments must move towards becoming more and more like tech companies, rather than being rigid like a tank, like a war machine.”<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/12/technology/ukraine-minister-war-digital.html</ref>
