This Is the Post That Started the Energy Nation Movement

December 14, 2025. From the European Parliament, Brussels

I walked out of the European Parliament and, on my way to the hotel, decided to write to you — without preparation.

Without preparation, because this is exactly the moment when it matters to speak directly.And because right now Ukraine has a rare window of opportunity that may not come again.

EDIP: What This Is Really About

This week in Brussels, discussions focused on the EDIP program.

I’ll say it plainly:

EDIP is not about the EU “giving money to Ukraine,” as many believe.

It is about whether Ukraine will be able to take its place in the new European defense-technology economy — as a producer, a partner, an industrial player.

That place is still available. But it won’t remain open for long.

Formally, EDIP is €1.5 billion for 2025–2027.

This is not a “grant to survive.”It is a ticket into a new industry — where speed, manufacturing, and infrastructure decide everything.

A ticket into a new economy built on data, AI, and energy.This is how the economic and security map of Europe is being redrawn right now.

Not an Opinion — a Logic Observed from the Inside

I want you to hear not “Anna Bon’s opinion,” but a simple logic I’ve observed over the past years — being inside the environments of European and American political and business leaders whose companies are worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

For eight years, I’ve been in circles where people build the infrastructure of the future — real megaprojects, not “plans on paper.”

I see how leaders of the free world think — leaders who are already dividing tomorrow’s markets.And I know exactly what they expect from Ukraine.

This conclusion comes from real conversations and real decisions.

What Sounded Like Fantasy — Became Strategy

Two years ago, invited by the NSDC (RNBO), at an international security forum, I said something that shocked many at the time and sounded unrealistic:

Ukraine needs to invest about $20 billion into data, AI, energy, and infrastructure — and within 5–7 years this could generate up to $1 trillion in GDP growth.

Then the world did exactly what I was talking about — and did it very fast.

One year later, then still a non-commercial company, OpenAI raised $10 billion from Microsoft.For California — and the world — this was a shock. Economists were in disbelief.

Another year passed — and around it, $500 billion in data centers and infrastructure began to take shape (the Stargate project).And Sam Altman is now talking about up to $2.3 trillion over the coming years.

What once sounded like fantasy became the baseline strategy of leading global economies.

The Scale Has Changed — Permanently

In 2024–2025, big business began forming infrastructure mega-pools:BlackRock / GIP / Microsoft / MGX announced partnerships with potential investments of up to $100 billion into AI data centers and energy.

Most importantly:According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity consumption by data centers will double by 2030 to ~945 TWh, with AI as the key driver.

China and the MENA region aren’t even included in this statistic — they follow similar trends.

What was dismissed as “fairy tales” two years ago is now the norm for the world’s largest economies.

“We’re at War — We Can’t Afford This”

I often hear this objection.

My answer is simple:

Exactly when people were saying this, my team and I first secured an investor ready to commit $200 million.Then major funds followed, prepared to invest $2 billion into infrastructure projects in Ukraine during the war.

I did not receive support from the Presidential Office.That is absurd — but not tragic.It’s a diagnosis of an approach: we waited for too long instead of building.

We Built Anyway

Back in 2023, together with an international team, we built Army Health System — a unified digital medical infrastructure for the military:

health monitoring
battlefield decision support
evacuation logistics
command situational awareness

As a sovereign, interoperable defense architecture, it already directly aligns with

EDIP priorities.

Why didn’t I keep fighting the “wall of power”?

I simply turned around and started building elsewhere.

The U.S.The UK.France. Germany.

Data + AI + secure infrastructure.

From negotiations to real products.From ideas to investment.From plans to users in 120 countries.

Thank you to the team.

Why I’m Writing This Now

Because I know what adult speed and adult stakes look like.And I see how fast the world is occupying open positions.

Negotiations about Ukraine’s future are happening right now.

The key question is this: What happens on Day One after the war?

What does Ukraine do?What does business do?What does the state do?

My Answer Is Simple

Day One after the war must begin not with asking — but with building.

Not with new concepts.Not with waiting for grants.Not with endless reform discussions or “education for education’s sake.”

My convictions are clear:

the state must operate like a technology startup — fast, correctly, with KPIs and accountability
the country must be governed by professional politicians, not entrepreneurs, actors, musicians, or athletes
but political teams must include successful entrepreneurs and tech leaders who know how to build systems — not slides

And Ukraine needs locomotive projects.

Projects That:

ensure sovereignty
create jobs
shape the economy for decades — and therefore national wealth

We need real construction projects of the new century.

The most obvious one today:

energy-independent, secure, next-generation AI data centers in Ukraine, integrated with defense programs, medical readiness, and industry — together with Western and Asian partners.

Demand for this infrastructure is already massive — and will only grow.

Because AI is not software.And not ChatGPT.

AI = energy + data centers + data + sovereignty.

The Model Exists

The logic and the model — build fast, sovereignly, with transparent economic outcomes — are already packaged at the infrastructure-project level.

I spoke about this earlier.The world has already done it.

Now Ukraine cannot wait.Ukraine must build.

Remember one sentence: Enough destruction. It’s time to build.

And we must start with energy-independent, secure AI data centers, and Ukraine can not only emerge from economic darkness quickly, but become a European leader.

P.S. I will write separately about data centers, EDIP, and concrete steps.If you want details — broken down by phases, partners, and launch models — please DM me.
