This marks the fourth and fifth deliveries from the IT coalition in 2025. In January of this year, under the initiative, Estonia, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg provided Ukraine with equipment valued at 3.3 million euros, in February – 7.5 million euros, and in April – about 2 million euros.
“Thanks to the new delivery from the IT coalition countries, we will be able to technically support the Armed Forces units where digital products and services are being implemented. I thank our partners for strengthening our technological capabilities,” said Oksana Ferchuk, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine for Digitalization.
