Kiev officials & Samantha @PowerUSAID are in DC celebrating how the Ukraine war kicked off a “new age” of “e-governance.” Alongside the Executive Chairman of Visa, they are openly describing the sacrifice of Ukrainian civilians on the altar of Western finance & tech: 
This event is dedicated to promoting Diia, Ukraine’s “state in a smartphone” that digitizes med records, banking, biometric data, and all aspects of life into a singular app. Kiev official @FedorovMykhailo thanks US taxpayers for serving as the first social investors of Diia
Host @karaswisher jokes that AI is going to destroy humanity, then complains the US public will never accept an app like Diia. @PowerUSAID reveals Estonia, Zanzibar, and Colombia are launching similar “e-gov” apps alongside USAID. Google & Visa & UK gov are also Diia sponsors
@PowerUSAID declares “something remarkable is happening in Ukraine as we speak”
She is not talking about the war destroying millions of lives, but tech research funded by US & UK
Kiev’s @FedorovMykhailo adds Ukraine is “best testing ground for technologies, come work w/ us”

US taxpayers funded Diia’s development. Visa Executive Chairman boasts Diia also offered financial incentives for Ukrainians to get vaccinated — unclear who financed that? Last year Ukraine awarded its national peace prize to Visa’s incoming CEO.
These people are genuinely overjoyed that Ukraine, by 2030, will be a totally digital. They say it will be the 1st cashless society & dependent on remote learning. They say this model is humanity’s future. No regard for the obliterated nation — maybe bc BlackRock gets to rebuild?
