According to the report, Ukraine has begun developing a sovereign AI brain for both military and civilian use, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign models and retain control over sensitive data. The project, led by the government in partnership with Ukrainian firm Kyiv Star, will use Google’s open-source Gemma 3 large language model as the foundation.

According to Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, the initiative brings Ukraine closer to becoming a leader in AI by 2030.The quality and safety of our public services will directly depend on the quality of this model.

The report stated that initial training will take place on Google’s cloud infrastructure abroad before the system is deployed on Ukrainian servers. The rollout is expected to face immediate threats, such as prompt injection attacks and potential disruptions from Russian strikes on energy infrastructure.

Additionally, Ukraine’s armed forces are already using AI to support a wide range of missions, from aerial and satellite reconnaissance to drone operations and battlefield analysis.

The development of a sovereign AI brain in Ukraine represents a strategic step toward reducing its reliance on foreign models and maintaining control over sensitive data. Led by the government in partnership with Kyiv Star, the project is based on Google’s open-source language model Gemma 3, positioning Ukraine to become a leader in AI by 2030. The initiative aims to improve the quality and security of public services by ensuring they rely on secure, homegrown technology. Initial training on Google’s cloud infrastructure, before migrating to Ukrainian servers, presents challenges, such as injection attacks and potential disruptions from Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Furthermore, the Ukrainian armed forces are already integrating AI into reconnaissance missions, drone operations, and battlefield analysis, strengthening their response capabilities in current conflicts.
