<p>Ukraine faces a severe and ongoing cyber security threat from cyber criminals,
hacktivists and hostile state actors, including Russia. The UK is a key cyber partner
for Ukraine and we are committed to supporting Ukraine against cyber-threats in advance
of elections next year. Through the Good Governance Fund, HMG funds a cyber-security
programme with the Central Election Commission (CEC) and wider electoral community.
The programme includes expert training for IT staff and other specialists, a cyber-hygiene
course focusing on user-end vulnerabilities, and strengthened coordination between
the CEC, security services of Ukraine, and international community. Following Ukraine's
recent renewal of the CEC's leadership, discussions are underway on the provision
of further capacity building and technical assistance. HMG is also building the strategic
communications capability of the government of Ukraine by co-running a campaign to
protect Ukrainian public servants, businesses and citizens online.</p>
