Access to the Cybersecurity Reserve deepens EU-Ukraine cooperation against evolving cyber threats.
Ukraine can now activate emergency EU cyber support<\/a> during significant or large-scale cybersecurity incidents after the Council of the European Union<\/a> approved its inclusion in the EU Cybersecurity Reserve.
The Reserve, managed by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity<\/a>, provides incident response services from trusted private-sector providers to help contain and mitigate major cyber incidents.
The European Commission said the decision reflects closer EU-Ukraine<\/a> cooperation and forms part of wider efforts to strengthen preparedness, rapid response and shared expertise against evolving cyber threats.
The move also aligns with the EU\u2019s strategic digital partnership agenda and follows Moldova\u2019s inclusion in the Cybersecurity Reserve<\/a> in 2024 under the Cyber Solidarity Act.
European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen said Ukraine\u2019s inclusion strengthens collective cyber defences and reaffirms European solidarity at a time of persistent cyber threats.
Ukraine\u2019s inclusion in the Cybersecurity Reserve extends EU cyber crisis support to a country facing sustained cyber pressure linked to geopolitical conflict. The decision shows how the EU is using the Cyber Solidarity Act and related mechanisms not only for internal resilience, but also for strategic partnerships. It also strengthens the role of ENISA-coordinated incident response services and trusted private providers in Europe\u2019s wider cyber crisis management framework.
