The state will know about all the gaps on the so-called "digital map" of Ukraine by the end of this year. This was emphasized by Prime Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Honcharuk.

"Last week I commissioned all the ministries and other executive authorities together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation to inspect all social objects and service points for access to quality Internet," the Prime Minister said.

According to Oleksiy Honcharuk, it will allow to use budget funds effectively for connection to broadband access of important social objects.

"We already have official statistics on connection of Ukrainian schools to Internet. Kindergartens, libraries, hospitals, CASPs (Centers for the administrative services provision), museums and other objects are next in line," Oleksiy Honcharuk emphasized.

The Head of Government added that modern and high-speed internet in hospitals, educational institutions or services will allow citizens to receive better quality services and to stay connected with each other.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Digital Transformation collects information on the availability of Internet access of citizens on its own official website: https://thedigital.gov.ua/.

Each state authority sends a letter of instruction to the institution under its management.

Moreover, the online service https://broadband.gov.ua/ has been launched even earlier, which allows absolutely all citizens to leave a feedback about their Internet connection, whether in schools or at home. The connection speed is automatically determined, all you need is to go to the said site and pass a rapid test from computer or smartphone.
