Abstract
Ukraine has become a global benchmark for Internet resilience, but the factors that enabled this survival are now facing some unexpected challenges. This presentation explores the tension between the technical necessity of decentralization and the growing drive for regulatory and fiscal centralization. We will examine the operational realities of maintaining a fragmented market under extreme pressure and ask a critical question whether the very ecosystem that kept a nation online can survive the transition to standardized peace-time regulations
