Ukraine Cabinet directs executive authorities to establish cybersecurity teams

On 23 October 2026 Ukraine's Cabinet publicly announced a prime-ministerial instruction for executive authorities to urgently form cybersecurity teams and procure and deploy security software. The government claimed around ten Kyiv data centres had been damaged in September and alleged growing Russian AI-assisted attacks. This record verifies the official directive and announcement, not the independent accuracy of attribution, damage counts, operational adoption or security effectiveness.
