Cyberspace has become a central front in the conflict. The Tallinn Mechanism thus helps Ukraine to coordinate vital support, from equipment to training and incident response. 

The Mechanism coordinates and facilitates civilian short-term support and long-term cyber capacity building to Ukraine. It consists of eleven donor nations - Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States - with the European Union (EU) and NATO supporting the Mechanism since its creation. 

The EU has been a close partner in these efforts, actively engaging with the Tallinn Mechanism, including through co-hosting the latest meeting in Brussels together with Germany. 

This involvement underscores the EU’s growing role as a global security provider in the field of cybersecurity, as highlighted in its Strategic Compass for Security and Defence. The EU’s support strengthens not only Ukraine’s defence but also the broader European and global response to cyber threats, reinforcing the importance of a united approach to cybersecurity in today’s digital age.  

The Tallinn Mechanism demonstrates the international community’s unwavering support for Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty. As the war continues, the EU remains committed to strengthening Ukraine’s cyber resilience for as long as needed, sending a powerful message of solidarity against Russia’s continued malicious behaviour in cyberspace.
