Earlier this month my researcher Barbara Schluetter and I had the pleasure of attending the Kyiv Worldwide Cyber Resilience Discussion board 2025, in Kyiv, Ukraine. Over the course of two days the varied presenters from the federal government of Ukraine, EU organizations, neighboring European nations and different non-public entities outlined the present scenario with respect to cybersecurity resilience in Ukraine. What was clear, is the convention monikers had been spot on, “Fortress of the free world and firewall of the free world.”
Maciej Stadejek, director for safety and protection coverage of the European Exterior Motion Service, emphasised in his keynote how, with the EU in thoughts, the “boundary between peace and battle is blurred” and the cyber battle will proceed lengthy after the struggle has concluded and “partnerships have to be long run.”

The kinetic struggle is clear every day, usually a number of instances a day. That is evidenced by the wail of civil protection sirens asserting the upcoming arrival of Russian missiles or drones. Oleksandr Potii, chairman of the State Service of Particular Communications and Info Safety of Ukraine commented how “Russia has been attacking Ukraine in an unprecedented scale,” focusing on civilian infrastructure, residence buildings, electrical substations, communication nodes, and many others. Each locale we had an event to go to had a plan in place in case of must evacuate or shelter. That is the seen struggle happening.
