Over €200 Million Mobilized to Bolster Ukraine’s Cyber Defenses Under Tallinn Mechanism
International partners have mobilized more than €200 million to reinforce Ukraine’s cybersecurity under the Tallinn Mechanism, with an additional €60.9 million expected by the end of this year.
The Gaze reports this, referring to Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation.
The Tallinn Mechanism, launched in 2023, serves as a joint platform for coordinating international support for Ukraine’s cyber resilience amid Russia’s ongoing hybrid warfare.
The coalition includes 13 countries, among them the UK, US, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland, and Estonia, with the World Bank joining in 2025 as an official observer.
“The Tallinn Mechanism has become a vivid example of coordinated international support that strengthens Ukraine’s cyber resilience,” said Valeriia Ionan, Adviser to the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation. “Together we are creating a secure digital environment not only for Ukraine but for the entire democratic world.”
Anton Demokhin, Deputy Foreign Minister for Digital Development, stressed that the new funding demonstrates “the unity of democratic nations in protecting digital sovereignty and critical infrastructure” as Russia escalates its cyber and military aggression.
One of the most notable outcomes of the Paris meeting was the agreement between the Ternopil Regional Military Administration and Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation to finance the modernization of network and server infrastructure in the region.
The Ternopil project is strategically important: it will serve as a pilot for decentralizing Ukraine’s cybersecurity system, ensuring that regional administrations can operate autonomously and securely even under wartime disruptions.
By strengthening local digital infrastructure, the initiative aims to protect critical data flows, support public services, and enhance coordination between regional authorities and national cyber defense systems.
The Tallinn Mechanism Project Office (TMPO), coordinated by the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) and EU CyberNet, manages implementation and fosters cooperation between Ukrainian institutions and international donors. TMPO works with the State Service for Special Communications (SSSCIP), the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), and the National Coordination Center for Cybersecurity (NCCC).
The Ministry of Digital Transformation expressed deep gratitude to all partner countries for their continued support and highlighted the roles of France and Sweden in organizing the latest coordination meeting.
As The Gaze reported earlier, Finland has joined the Tallinn Mechanism, an international framework led by Estonia that coordinates assistance to strengthen Ukraine’s cyber resilience.
