On 9 October, the European Union and Ukraine held their 5th Cyber Dialogue, in Brussels. The exchanges highlighted the importance and depth of the EU-Ukraine cyber partnership, spanning from operational cybersecurity cooperation, alignment to EU norms and policies, to cyber defence and diplomacy, including sanctions. Against the backdrop of Russia's continued war of aggression against Ukraine, the increasingly complex cyber threat landscape, and Ukraine's ongoing EU accession process, the Dialogue reaffirmed the shared determination of the EU and Ukraine to further strengthen cooperation and jointly address persistent and evolving cyber threats.
