Diia is a groundbreaking app that allows Ukrainians to access over 100 government services. Ukraine is also using the tech to connect people to critical support during the war. Now, @USAID is excited to work with @FedorovMykhailo to help other countries build platforms like Diia.

Helping Ukraine meet its financing needs to face the Russian aggression is both crucial and urgent.
The Commission is acting with utmost speed and determination:
Tomorrow, we will already disburse the first 3 billion € of the 18 bn macro-financial support agreed in December.

Talking points that there are 2 things you can not do digitally in #Estonia - get married and divorce - need to be corrected...
Quote Tweet
Since January 1, getting married in #Estonia is possible as a semi-#digital service (you have to show up for the wedding but can send the application #online). This far, 34 people, aged 19-62, have already applied - via @digigeenius (in Estonian) digi.geenius.ee/rubriik/uudis/

Russia should not hold the world’s food supplies to ransom and wrongly blame sanctions.
Russia can help alleviate the global food crisis by ending its war in #Ukraine.

Russia's so-called referendums in Ukrainian regions are "null and void", says PACE. It also:
➡️ presses for a tribunal to try Russia for the crime of aggression
➡️ labels Russia “a terrorist regime”
➡️ notes calls for UN Security Council reform

#StandWithUkraine and follow 3 clear lines by 🇪🇪 PM
- scale up support to #Ukraine,
- do not give in one inch;
- do not let #Russia's threats scare us
Quote Tweet
Spoke to @CNN's @jimsciutto about why now is time to scale up support to #Ukraine, not give in one inch and not let #Russia's threats scare us.
If this aggression pays off, it serves as an invitation to use it elsewhere and no country can feel safe.
