“I want rapid changes. I believe in your talent and desire to make Ukraine a digital leader and I guarantee political will.

According to the Advisor to the President Mykhailo Fedorov, the transfer of all public services to the Internet is planned to be done by 2024. It will reduce number of contacts of citizens and business with the authorities and reach the zero level of corruption in this area.

The development of tools for e-government and democracy, digital infrastructures, digital identification, cyber security, restoring order in state registries, electronic democracy were discussed at the meeting.

The President stressed that from that moment such meetings would be held on a regular basis.
