Ukraine collects materials from more than 90 government agencies for its national AI model

Training sources

Materials are coming from more than 90 government institutions — from court registries and educational publishers to regional archives and documents related to Russia's actions during the full-scale invasion. These corpora will be used as the basis for training a national large language model that will be based on Google's open Gemma architecture.

Training location and security

Training will take place abroad on secure graphics processors (GPUs) provided by Google. After completion, the model is planned to be deployed in Ukrainian data centers. Among the project's technology partners is Kyivstar; an exact launch date has not yet been determined.

The development team is preparing for possible cyberattacks. The Ministry of Digital Transformation warns that immediately after public launch the system may become a target, as has happened with other AI services. Measures against 'prompt injection' — attempts to insert malicious instructions into user queries — are being considered.

It was recently announced that the Ukrainian large language model will be trained using Gemma. A team that will work on developing the national LLM has already been formed in Ukraine.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
