Details: The minister said that on 14 December he met with a US delegation led by Ambassador-at-Large Nathaniel Fick. The discussion was also joined by Doug Beck, Director of the US Defense Innovation Unit, and Bridget Brink, US Ambassador to Ukraine.

The key focus of the meeting was cybersecurity, where Ukraine seeks to learn from the US experience in countering digital threats.

The Ukrainian team presented to the American delegation the Ministry of Defence's digital solutions, including the Army+ and Reserve+ applications, the DELTA situational awareness system, as well as the creation of the Cyber Incident Response Centre, which should become an important element in countering the Russians on the digital battlefield.

Quote from Umierov: "We agreed with Nathaniel Fick and Doug Beck to further deepen cooperation between Ukraine and the United States in the field of cybersecurity.

The priorities are to increase investment in our innovations, strengthen digital infrastructure that is invulnerable to aggressor attacks, and introduce the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence."
