The non-governmental organisation Detector Media, Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design (KNUTD) and Ukraine Resilience & Recovery Foundation (URRF) are launching a joint project aimed at improving digital security among Ukrainians, countering disinformation and promoting European standards for personal data protection.

Kyiv has spent more than UAH 16 billion on strengthening its energy security since the start of 2026, compared with UAH 2 billion last year, and plans to spend another UAH 4.5-5 billion by year-end, Managing Director of the Energy Industry Research Center Oleksandr Kharchenko has said.

The upcoming winter of 2026-2027 in terms of energy supply will be difficult, but not catastrophic and no more difficult than the last one, and it will be successfully navigated, believes Oleksandr Kharchenko, Director of the Center for Energy Research (CER).

On the eve of the winter period, Ukraine is facing energy, security, and diplomatic challenges simultaneously, and citizens of partner countries should become the key factor in maintaining international support, believes President of the International Institute for Security Studies Oleksiy Buryachenko.

The winter period could become an additional instrument of pressure on Ukraine in the context of the negotiation process, while Kyiv must maintain diplomatic resilience and not retreat from its baseline positions, believes political scientist and Head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies Ihor Chalenko.

The shortage of interceptor missiles for Patriot systems is connected not only with the political decisions of Ukraine's partners, but also with limited global stockpiles of these strike assets and growing demand for them, believes military-political observer Denys Popovitch.
