Several recent statements by top politicians — Ukrainian and not only — have forced us to look into the very depths of Ukrainian soil. It’s not that we have such sharp eyesight, but experts helped us with this. Recently, dev.ua spoke with the executive director of the National Association of Mining Industries of Ukraine, Ksenia Orinchak, on the topic of extracting raw materials for potential domestic production of microchips. And although the statements of government officials about the full cycle of microchip production did not contain any assurances, according to the expert, we have everything we need for this in terms of raw material deposits. Accordingly, the added value of such products for our country will be much higher, not to mention the concomitant development of the mining industry and other related sectors of the economy.

With the start of a full-scale war in Ukraine, there has been a second boom in agencies promoting erotic content on the OnlyFans platform. Top companies in this business work with a hundred models at the same time and can earn more than $10,000 per month from one creator. Forbes spoke with three owners of OnlyFans agencies and five models who have worked with them. Here are the highlights from the material.

In mid-January, the news that Ukraine plans to start its own chip production was very loud — it was spread by almost every media outlet. Before that, creating conditions for the development of the semiconductor technology industry was identified as strategic goal No. 14 in the Strategy for Digital Development of Innovations until 2030, which was finally presented to the public. Yevgeny Astakhov, a member of the expert team at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, which is working on a sectoral strategy, notes in a comment for dev.ua that Ukraine does not need to focus on advanced nodes, but rather focus on simple and mass solutions. «The cost of a factory using advanced technologies can reach tens of billions of dollars. Instead, mature nodes, such as 180–130 nm, 65–28 nm, are optimal for meeting urgent needs. Building a factory using such technologies is more economically feasible, which makes it attractive to investors,» he argues.
