On June 10, 2026, Kyiv hosted the official launch of the EU4CyberUA project, a three-year initiative designed to strengthen Ukraine's cybersecurity infrastructure and national resilience. The State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine (SSSCIP) serves as the primary Ukrainian implementing partner, working alongside the Spanish Foundation for the Internationalisation of Public Administration (FIAP) as lead implementer and the Estonian e-Governance Academy (eGA) as project partner. The launch event brought together approximately 100 participants from Ukrainian government agencies, foreign diplomatic missions, and international organisations. The €10 million project, running from 2026 to 2029, addresses Ukraine's escalating cybersecurity challenges amid ongoing military conflict. The initiative focuses on establishing regional cybersecurity centres, strengthening critical infrastructure protection, upgrading government information systems, and expanding practical engagement with European cybersecurity agencies including the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and CERT-EU. The project also supports the CISO Campus, a national platform for training Chief Information Security Officers in government authorities, and will establish an international training and testing centre to simulate attack scenarios on critical infrastructure. SSSCIP Chairman Oleksandr Potii emphasised that safeguarding critical infrastructure has become essential to national defence, noting that the project will reinforce Ukraine's ability to maintain government digital services and vital services without disruption. The initiative follows the "Team Europe" approach, pooling resources from EU institutions and expertise from member states to support Ukraine's security and integration trajectory. **Reference:** State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine official announcement, June 10, 2026.
