Canada is allocating about ₴92 million (CAD 3 million) to support projects under the Tallinn Mechanism. The two-year funding package is aimed at systematically strengthening Ukraine’s digital security.
The investment will be used to protect critical infrastructure, counter cyber threats, build effective detection and response systems, and supply essential equipment. Six projects have already been selected, including support for the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and the State Border Guard Service.
Canada’s support is a signal of trust and a testament to Ukraine’s strategic partnership with the world. Through the Tallinn Mechanism, we gain real tools to protect critical infrastructure, counter cyberattacks, and advance digital security
The initiatives will be implemented in partnership with U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation (CRDF Global), which has extensive experience delivering technical assistance projects in Ukraine, including in the field of digital transformation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine emphasized that this funding is a significant contribution to strengthening Ukraine’s cyber resilience, improving protection of critical infrastructure, and developing effective mechanisms for cyber deterrence.
Ukraine’s digital resilience is the foundation of our national security during the most technologically advanced war of our time. Canada’s support strengthens our ability to counter cyber threats and ensures the stability of digital processes
The Tallinn Mechanism: Coordinated International Cyber Support
Launched in 2023, the Tallinn Mechanism has already delivered dozens of initiatives — from cybersecurity assessments and training programs to equipment procurement supporting Ukraine’s connectivity and resilience. Twelve countries have joined the initiative so far: the United Kingdom, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Poland, the United States, France, and Sweden. The European Union, NATO, and the World Bank participate as official observers.
The Tallinn Mechanism Project Office (TMPO), based in Kyiv, coordinates implementation and fosters cooperation between Ukrainian institutions and international partners. TMPO was established with the support of the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) and EU CyberNet at the initiative of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. It works closely with the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the National Cybersecurity Coordination Center.
