The concept project for the establishment of Cyber Forces was discussed by representatives of Ukraine's defense forces, members of parliament from the Verkhovna Rada's Committee on Security, Defense, and Intelligence, along with experts. The working meeting was chaired by Lieutenant General Anatoly Burhilovich, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Participants of the meeting reviewed the key provisions of the concept project, taking into account the experiences of creating and operating cyber forces in leading countries worldwide, as stated in the announcement.
They also analyzed the experience of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of Ukraine's defense forces in cyberspace while countering the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
"The establishment of Cyber Forces as a distinct branch will significantly enhance the capabilities of the Ukrainian army, ensuring effective planning and execution of a full range of tasks in cyberspace, which is recognized as a separate operational domain alongside land, sea, air, and space," the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted.
