Ukrainians are actively joining the Drone Line: more than 2,200 applications have been submitted through Diia.
The services of changing and canceling the registration of residence have been restored on the "Diia" portal. The services have become more convenient and efficient, and they work automatically.
Minister Fedorov presented the "Snake" robot for demining, developed by Rovertech. It neutralizes explosives and clears the way for infantry, working even in difficult areas of the front.
Ukrainian drones have proven their effectiveness in the war, destroying enemy equipment. UAV development increases the country's defense capabilities and reduces dependence on imports.
The Russian army is attacking Zaporizhzhia with drones, as reported by the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, Ivan Fedorov. Explosions are heard in different parts of the city, and air defense is working.
Ukrainian companies have developed analogues of the Russian "Lancet" drone, which are already actively used by the Armed Forces. These drones strike enemy air defense systems and other objects at operational depth.
In two years, over 3600 technological developments for the military have been registered on the Brave1 platform. 2 billion grants have been issued to entrepreneurs for the development of drones, EW and ground platforms.
Through Diia, Ukrainians purchased over 13 million military bonds, investing UAH 13. 5 billion in the state since October 2022. Those who bought Sudak bonds are already receiving payments.
The Ukrainian government has developed recommendations for universities on the effective use of artificial intelligence. The document contains advice on tools, access to platforms and the creation of prompts.
According to Fedorov, 97-98% of drone components are produced in Ukraine. One manufacturer has a drone with 100% Ukrainian parts, and many companies have achieved 70-80% localization.
The total amount of cash assets of government officials in 2024 increased by 13% and amounted to more than UAH 219 million. The largest income was declared by Oleksiy Chernyshov - UAH 37.5 million.

Ukraine plans to launch an online service for taking driver's license exams in the "Diia" application. Artificial intelligence will track behavior during testing.
The Zaporizhzhia region became the first where all schools joined the "Mriya" educational ecosystem, despite its proximity to the front. 150 schools are already working with "Mriya".
In 2025, the "Mriya" pilot project for preschool education will start in Ukraine. Educators, parents and administration will receive convenient digital tools.
In the "Dream" application, children will receive virtual currency for academic achievements and exchange it for real incentives. Virtual rewards for homework are also provided.
The implementation of artificial intelligence is planned in the "Dream" application. It will help schoolchildren build an educational trajectory and recommend content, like on YouTube.
In Ukraine, more than 100 couples of servicemen have used the priority online marriage registration. The service is implemented by the Ministry of Justice jointly with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
