This study explores the intricate relationship between e-governance and
corruption perception using the E-Government Development Index (EGDI) and
Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) data. Ukraine’s legal landscape is examined,
highlighting efforts to enhance public administration transparency. This study
underscores the role of citizens in fostering e-governance and reducing corruption
and crime. Comparative analyses challenge assumptions about income and egovernance, while “smart grids” and digitalization emerge as solutions to energy
challenges in Ukraine. Ultimately, this study illuminates the transformative
potential of e-governance and its significance in modern governance paradigms
during wartime and in situations involving a large number of displaced people.
