Paid against the budget, as the government reports it
67.8 million UAH paid out by December 2025, once all 12 months of the budget’s period had run, of the Sovereign AI Factory’s 226 million UAH 2025 allocation. The ministry's report on the 2025 passport of budget programme 2901030 'E-government' prints the Sovereign AI Factory's 225,891.0 thousand UAH allocation against 67,767.3 thousand UAH actually paid in 2025 (a 30% advance on the supply contract); the 158,123.7 thousand UAH balance is allocated for 2026 and no 2026 execution figure is published yet. The national LLM itself is financed by Kyivstar, not the state budget.
Sovereign AI Factory hardware-software complex for the Diia Portal, financed under state budget programme 2901030 'E-government' (special fund)
A part of the programme. The programme record bundles the national LLM (financed and led by Kyivstar; the ministry stated on 7 January 2026 that no public budget funds were being used at that stage), Diia.AI (services supported by donors), NVIDIA's software and advisory partnership, and the AI Factory. The AI Factory is the only one of these that a government budget instrument funds in the documents read: two hardware-software sets bought by State Enterprise 'Diia' (the recipient of programme 2901030 funds) under contract No. 9051/25 with LAN TEK LLC, and paid from the programme's special fund. The 2025 report says that special fund came from the ministry's account for countering information threats, cyber defence and restoring digital infrastructure (Cabinet Resolution No. 751 of 1 July 2022), allocated by the account commission's Protocol No. 7 of 26 August 2025; the account's donated origin does not change that the payment is state-budget special-fund expenditure. The 2025 allocation covered the whole contract; the unpaid 70% was re-allocated in the 2026 passport (kept among the line's figures).
