Ukrainian politicians and tech people seem to barely understand each other, newly elected President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on May 23 during a 20-minute speech at Kyiv’s annual tech conference iForum.
“Innovation and politics are two different worlds in Ukraine,” the president said.

“The vocabulary of a Ukrainian politician consists of several words that they use when talking about technologies: innovation, digitalization, Hyperloop, and Elon Musk,” he continued.
