The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine

On February 26, 222 Minister of Digital Transformation and Zelensky Regime Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov ask [[elon Musk to provide Starlink service to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[1]

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.[2]

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.[3]

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.[4] 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.”[5] 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.”[6]

Hackers and IT specialists

The Washington Post reported that Ukrainian officials ran thousands of facial recognition searches on dead or captured Russian soldiers in the first 50 days of the Russian incursion, using the scans to identify bodies and contact hundreds of families in Russia for what may be "one of the most gruesome applications of the technology to date."[7]

The country's IT Army, a force of hackers and activists that takes its direction from the Ukrainian government, says it has used those identifications to inform the families of the deaths of 582 Russians, including by sending them photos of the abandoned corpses.

The Ukrainians champion the use of face-scanning software from the U.S. tech firm Clearview AI. Some military and technology analysts worry that the strategy could backfire, inflaming anger over a shock campaign directed at mothers.

Stephanie Hare, a surveillance researcher in London, said it is “classic psychological warfare” and could set a dangerous new standard for future conflicts. “If it were Russian soldiers doing this with Ukrainian mothers, we might say, ‘Oh, my God, that’s barbaric.’ And is it actually working? Or is it making them say: ‘Look at these lawless, cruel Ukrainians, doing this to our boys?’ ”

Clearview AI’s chief executive, Hoan Ton-That, told The Washington Post that more than 340 officials across five Ukrainian government agencies now can use its tool to run facial recognition searches whenever they want, free of charge. Clearview employees held weekly, sometimes daily, training calls over Zoom with new police and military officials looking to gain access. Ton-That recounted several “‘oh, wow’ moments” as the Ukrainians witnessed how much data — including family photos, social media posts and relationship details — they could gather from a single cadaver scan. Some of the Ukraininas used Clearview's mobile app to scan faces while on the battlefield.


Ukraine aid/2022 Midterm election scandal

Tens of billions of dollars were transferred to Ukraine then laundered back to Democrats in advance of the 2022 Midterm elections.

The FTX crypto slush fund run by Sam Bankman-Fried and his MIT college buddies laundered money for Ukraine into nearly $40 million worth of campaign donations for Democrats in the 2022 Midterm elections. In 2022 Joe Biden and the Democrats pushed through $65 billion in funding for Ukraine, using US taxpayer money. Internationally, over $100 billion has been donated to Ukraine, according to www.Devex.com which has compiled worldwide donations and grants to Ukrainian. The corrupt Zelensky regime partnered with a corrupt crypto slush fund to take taxpayer dollars from corrupt US government officials and funneled them into the hands of corrupt Democrat candidates to win rigged 2022 Midterm elections.[8]

From a cash flow perspective, FTX's bankruptcy filing on November 12, 2022 stated that FTX had zero bitcoin assets despite having $1.4 billion in bitcoin liabilities.[9] From an overall perspective, the filing revealed that FTX had almost zero assets and from $10-$50 billion in liabilities. Among those liabilities were “investments” made by the Zelensky regime.

The far-left Washington Post reported on March 3, 2022 that the Zelensky regime was dealing in crypto.[10] The Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation announced “Jointly with the blockchain company Everstake and the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, we’ve launched the website “Aid For Ukraine” to collect crypto for supporting the army.[11] Bankman-Fried announced that FTX will be helping the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance in collecting crypto donations.[12]
