Nowadays Ukraine has huge experience in cyber warfare.

The set up of the National Cybersecurity Coordination Center and the proposed update of the cybercrime legislation to meet the Budapest Convention requirements and best practice particularly on Internet Service Providers are two main steps in enhancing the country’s cyber resilience.
