KYIV, May 24 – President Volodymyr Zelensky said he intends to implement the "country in a smartphone" concept to make up for Ukraine's lag in e-government development.

"There is a UN report on the development of e-government for 2018, and we can clearly see what we shall strive for. No matter how regrettable it may sound today, but we are behind Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Moldova, the Baltic countries and the aggressor," he said, speaking at the iForum 2019 in Kyiv on Thursday.
