  "description": "On 7 July 2025, Sweden announced a new contribution of SEK 135 million to support Ukraine's civil cybersecurity. The funding aims to strengthen Ukraine's resilience against cyberattacks, which have increasingly targeted civilian infrastructure such as government functions and basic civil services, primarily originating from Russia. In 2024 alone, Ukraine experienced over 4,315 cyber incidents, averaging 12 daily attacks. The support will be managed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and is part of the Tallinn Mechanism, a joint initiative involving multiple countries to bolster Ukraine's cyber defenses and protect critical infrastructure. Sweden and France jointly assumed the chairmanship of the Mechanism in Kyiv in April 2025, continuing through the second half of the year.",
