Sweden allocates over UAH 590 million to strengthen Ukraine's cybersecurity

The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency Sida - Styrelsen för Internationellt Utvecklingssamarbete is allocating a new aid package within the framework of the Tallinn Mechanism of Support. The funds will be directed towards updating IT infrastructure, strengthening the protection of digital products, and training employees of key state institutions. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine on Facebook.

Details

As noted by the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Russia's aggression against Ukraine continues not only on the battlefield but also in cyberspace. In 2024 alone, over 2,000 cyberattacks were carried out by malicious actors on the public sector and state bodies.

Thanks to Sida's support, we will implement projects to ensure that the digital state operates smoothly and that Ukrainians can use online services under any circumstances.

Sida's funding will be channeled through the Estonian Centre for International Development. This is an Estonian government fund responsible for managing and implementing international development and humanitarian aid projects.

Tallinn Mechanism - an international initiative that coordinates assistance from 11 partner countries in strengthening cyber resilience. 

We thank Sweden and all partners for their steadfast and unwavering support for Ukraine's digitalization and cybersecurity. We are building effective cooperation with the whole world
