Ukraine has published a Roadmap for the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence outlining a two-stage process to develop binding AI governance, connecting to the country’s broader alignment with EU standards as part of its accession path. In parallel, the government announced development of a sovereign national large language model (LLM), with a beta version expected in spring 2026, built on Google’s Gemma architecture and adapted for the Ukrainian language and public administration context. The Ministry of Digital Transformation leads digital governance policy, though as of early 2026 Ukraine does not yet have an enacted AI law or a dedicated AI regulatory body with full enforcement powers.
Who it affects: The roadmap sets a direction for public and private AI use in Ukraine. The national LLM is primarily targeted at public administration, education, and security applications.
What is notably missing: The AI regulation roadmap is a planning document, not enacted legislation. Ukraine has not established an independent AI regulatory authority with enforcement powers. There is no legal requirement for AI literacy training in schools, workplaces, or the civil service. Implementation of AI governance reforms is complicated by the ongoing wartime context and resource constraints.
