A Digital Sovereignty Alliance has been created in Ukraine, bringing together leading domestic cloud providers: GigaCloud, De Novo, and the PARKOVY data center. This was announced in an author’s column on Interfax-Ukraine by Vladimir Belov, director of GigaCloud in Ukraine.
The initiative came together after De Novo CEO Maxim Ageev publicly highlighted the risks of storing critical data abroad. “We decided to create a platform for professional dialogue and collaboration,” Belov explained.
According to him, digital sovereignty today is not only a matter of security, but also the foundation of economic independence. The Alliance’s key goal is to ensure that state registries, medical, and financial data are stored within Ukrainian jurisdiction. Other tasks include developing common standards and conditions for data centers and cloud services, participating in the development of a regulatory framework, and creating a sustainable digital architecture.
The column pays particular attention to the idea of creating digital embassies (Data Embassies) — data centers abroad that are subject to Ukrainian law. GigaCloud already uses European hosting platforms, retaining control over customer data.
“Digital sovereignty is about independence, but not isolation. We are ready to cooperate with European associations on an equal footing,” Belov concluded, calling on market participants to join the Alliance.
