The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry introduced a digital persona to deliver official consular commentary to the media. This pioneering initiative marks a significant technological leap for Ukrainian diplomacy, offering efficiency gains and resource optimization unprecedented in diplomatic circles worldwide.

Victoria Shi, the digital persona, will provide comments on consular matters, and her statements will be disseminated through various official channels, including the Ministry’s website and social media platforms. Commenting on this innovative approach, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba highlighted the importance of embracing technological advancements to enhance diplomatic capabilities.
The use of an AI-generated digital persona for consular commentary is primarily a time and resource-saving measure for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ukrainian diplomacy is now enhancing its capabilities and making a technological leap that no diplomatic service in the world has made so far,” he wrote in a statement on social media.

The project was created by “The Game Changers” NGO with support from “Nazovni Tech,” underscoring the importance of public-private partnerships in driving technological innovation.

To maintain authenticity and transparency, the Ministry has taken measures to ensure that only original videos featuring Victoria Shi contain a QR code linking to the official ministry website. This page hosts the text of the statements, reinforcing the credibility of the information provided.
