Canada has announced a new contribution of approximately $2.3 million to support Ukraine’s cybersecurity efforts, according to Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine on September 24.
The funding is allocated under the Tallinn Mechanism, an initiative uniting 12 countries to coordinate assistance for strengthening Ukraine’s cyber resilience.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine confirmed that the funds will be directed toward the protection of critical infrastructure, procurement of equipment, and the development of systems designed to detect and prevent cyberattacks.
According to the ministry, six projects have already been selected for financing. They include initiatives with the State Judicial Administration, the State Border Guard Service, and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
The program will be implemented through the US Civilian Research & Development Foundation (CRDF Global), an organization experienced in delivering technical assistance in Ukraine.
“Modern war is taking place not only on the battlefield but also in cyberspace. Thanks to the support of partners within the Tallinn Mechanism, we will counter cyber threats more effectively, ensuring that the digital state operates smoothly and Ukrainians can access online services under any conditions,” the ministry stated.
Earlier, on August 24, Ukraine and Canada signed a deal to co-produce drones and counter-drone systems, prioritizing expanded production to meet Ukraine’s frontline needs.
