NATO will continue to provide Ukraine with practical support, including equipment that will help investigate cyber security incidents, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said.

“NATO will continue to provide Ukraine with practical support. Today, we reviewed our Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine. Through ten different Trust Funds, NATO Allies have pledged almost 40 million euro to support Ukraine. In areas such as command and control, cyber defence and medical rehabilitation. We are now working to provide Ukraine with satellite communications equipment. In recent days, we have delivered state of the art cyber defence equipment, helping key government institutions, to better investigate cyber security incidents and to protect themselves from cyber attacks, such as those we saw recently,” Stoltenberg said at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Kyiv on July 10.

NATO has had a partnership with Ukraine for over 20 years. Ukraine is one of the biggest beneficiaries of NATO Trust Funds. The funds have paid for various projects including financial support for political and security sector reforms, help with cyber defence and medical rehabilitation for Ukrainian soldiers.
