REINVENT<\/span> Ukraine’s Mykhailo Fedorov, vice prime minister and minister for digital transformation, spoke to press at Amazon Web Services’ Re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, describing how emergency migration to the cloud is securing the country’s digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“Let me be honest with you. This is priceless. State registers and databases are critical information infrastructure,” he said.<\/p>\n

According to Liam Maxwell, AWS Director of Government Digital Transformation, “in January 2022 it was increasingly clear there was going to be an attack on Ukraine from Russia \u2026 in February 2022 Ukraine’s parliament passed a law allowing government and private sector data to move to the cloud, and we started engaging really closely with the Ukrainians,” he said. “On the day of the invasion we met the ambassador at the Ukranian embassy in London and we sketched out a plan of how to identify the parts of the State that we could help them back up, and that included things like the population register, land and property ownership, tax payment records, education records. That laid the groundwork to build a strategic move to help the Ukranian government and safeguard their digital infrastructure.”<\/p>\n
