Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov reported that Ukrainian citizens use the "YeVoroh" chatbot, sending hundreds of messages weekly. This service has proven to be highly effective.
He said this in an interview with the We-Ukraine TV channel.
"Of course, if we compare it with the first year of the war, the activity is much lower, but it still continues systematically, and we receive hundreds of messages weekly. Of course, the Russians are trying to fight it," Fedorov noted, answering the question of whether the activity of citizens in this chatbot has decreased compared to previous years of the full-scale war.
The head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation recalled that over 660 thousand messages were transmitted from Ukrainians from temporarily occupied territories about the movement of Russian air defenses, Russian personnel, etc., during the 3 years of the full-scale war with the Russian Federation.
The minister stated that this service is really effective.
"The "YeVoroh" service distinguishes itself from other platforms by integrating with Diia [digital documents and government services on a smartphone – ed.], which provides user authorization.
This ensures the submissions are high-quality and verified, reducing the risk of fake information from Russian sources. Instead, it confirms that Ukrainian citizens genuinely contribute to countering enemy activities," Fedorov explained.
For reference:
In December 2023, the Ministry of Digital Transformation urged Ukrainians to use the YeVoroh chatbot to report the locations of Russian equipment and personnel.
In December last year, the Security Service of Ukraine launched a unique chatbot, "Burn the FSBeshyk [member of Russia's Federal Security Service – ed.]," to promptly collect information about recruitment attempts by Russian special services.
The chatbot "Burn the FSBshnyk" has already received more than 1,300 recruitment reports by Russian special services.
In 2024, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police detained over 450 individuals involved in acts of arson on behalf of Russian operatives. Ukrainian law enforcement has successfully tracked down all perpetrators, who, instead of receiving "easy money," now face charges from the Security Service and potential imprisonment.
The Security Service of Ukraine also urged citizens to report traitors and collaborators via the Stop Russian War chatbot, enabling quick and secure information transmission. Alternatively, citizens can access the Security Service's regional office page for relevant contact details.
