"Ukraine has something to share here. I won't exaggerate if I say: besides the resilience of our people, it is digital systems that help us stand strong," emphasized the wife of the President of Ukraine during her address to the summit participants.
In particular, Olena Zelenska spoke about the concept of "State in a smartphone" – a vision implemented through the Ukrainian state service "Diia."
"When millions of Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes, when physical infrastructure was destroyed, the state and its services remained with people in their phones. That is why "Diia" was included in TIME's list of the best inventions of the year," the First Lady noted.
She also highlighted the "Diia.Osvita" platform, where one can freely acquire knowledge about digital literacy, data management, online safety, and cyber hygiene.

In addition, Ukraine operates the "Mriia" ecosystem, created at the initiative of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This is a single digital educational platform for students, parents, and teachers that combines all key learning elements in one environment: from educational materials and schedules to communication and assessment. Every fourth educational institution in the country is already connected to "Mriia," and kindergartens are starting to connect to "Mriia.Doshkillia."
According to Olena Zelenska, artificial intelligence is already part of Ukrainian digital solutions. In 2025, Ukraine established the national center for artificial intelligence development, WINWIN AI Center of Excellence, which works on integrating AI into key state spheres.
"We join Mrs. Trump's initiative and see it as an important step to elevate the topic of child development and education to a global level and unite countries around shared responsibility," concluded the President's wife.
