“The Tallinn Mechanism is a key instrument of international support that helps Ukraine counter these attacks and, meanwhile, build long-term digital resilience. The Norwegian government allocates 25 million kroner (US$2.5 million) annually to this area within the civil component of the Nansen Programme. This support is long-term and scalable,” said Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide.
Within the framework of the partnership, Norway plans to provide more than 100 million hryvnias (US$2.4 million) by the end of 2025. The funds will be used to support projects that increase the cyber resilience of Ukraine’s civil and critical infrastructure.

- It was also reported that the Italian Foreign Ministry decided to allocate 1 million euros for the implementation of projects within the Tallinn Mechanism to strengthen support for Ukraine in the cyber sphere.
- In early July, the Swedish International Development Agency allocated a new aid package to Ukraine within the Tallinn Mechanism.
