Sovereign AI

Announced commitments against government budgets and reported disbursements, by country.

Sovereign programme record · Ukraine · 2025–2030

Ukraine: National LLM / Diia AI / NVIDIA Sovereign AI Partnership: — announced · disbursement not on record

Every figure below derives from the same record the dashboard reads — this page is the programme as a citable object: the reconciliation with its denominator stated, the decomposition with its residual, and the dated evidence behind each claim.

Announced—
No headline figure on record.
Government-only floor—
Not decomposed — the record does not separate government money from the headline.
Committed—
No commitment figure on record.
Disbursed—
No disbursement figure on record.

The reconciliation. Four figures on one dollar scale, each bar a share of the largest. The reality ratio above divides disbursed by the announced headline, and the field it divides by is stated so the division is reproducible. A hatched track is an absent figure carried with its reason — a government that does not publish disbursement is a finding, not a zero. Tildes mark estimated figures.

Pipeline stage: Announced (low confidence, unreviewed) — Announcement only; no commitment or disbursement evidence. The stage is a Scrutica derivation (tier 4), computed from the figures above, never asserted by the source.

External dependence

NVIDIA hardware: high · TSMC fabrication: high · US technology: high · BIS jurisdiction reach: none recorded. Dependence levels are Scrutica classifications (tier 4) from the programme’s own disclosures — which hardware it buys, where it fabricates, and whose export jurisdiction its supply chain crosses.

Named partners: Kyivstar (VEON), Google (Gemma 3, Cloud/Vertex AI), NVIDIA, Ministry of Digital Transformation, WINWIN AI Center of Excellence.

Ukraine's sovereign AI program is structurally unique: no government compute budget, entirely financed by Kyivstar (VEON subsidiary, Ukraine's largest telco). LLM built on Google Gemma 3, trained on Google Cloud Vertex AI outside Ukraine (wartime energy constraints make domestic training impractical). NVIDIA partnership (Nov 2025) covers infrastructure roadmap, talent, R&D, and startup ecosystem — but no disclosed GPU procurement or capital commitment. Beta planned spring 2026. WINWIN AI Center of Excellence coordinates. Diia AI LLM tailored to Ukrainian legislation, public services, cultural context. Model to be transferred to state and open-sourced post-validation. Fedorov frames as national security: data sovereignty in wartime.

What this record flags about itself · 8

No government budget for sovereign AI compute is disclosed. Kyivstar, a private company, is financing the entire LLM development (veon.com press release).
Verified: Google Gemma 3 was selected as the foundation model, announced by Fedorov and Kyivstar (digitalstate.gov.ua, veon.com).
Verified: the NVIDIA partnership was announced in November 2025 for sovereign AI infrastructure, across four pillars — infrastructure, talent, R&D and startups (kyivpost.com, ukrinform.net).
Verified: training runs on Google Cloud Vertex AI infrastructure outside Ukraine, with finished models to be deployed on local data centers (digitalstate.gov.ua).
No accelerator count is on record: there are no public figures on GPU procurement. Ukrainian private cloud providers have invested more than $2.5M in H200, H100 and L40S hardware (plvision.eu), but national LLM training uses Google Cloud rather than domestic hardware.
No budget figure is on record: the government contribution is coordination, data access and policy framework, not capital expenditure on compute hardware.
Wartime context bears on the whole record: energy infrastructure is under sustained attack, and 3,500 backup generators maintain digital services (plvision.eu).
Beta spring 2026 target; open-source release planned post-validation (digitalstate.gov.ua)
