Cooperation in Cybersecurity with Ukraine
April 8, 2024

WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that it has signed
memorandum of understanding and cooperation in cybersecurity with the National Bank of
Ukraine. The Memorandum renews the shared understanding on cybersecurity and
operational resilience, which has been in place since 2020. As a part of that e ort, the
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) facilitates an ongoing exchange of information
between the National Bank of Ukraine and the Treasury Department.
“The U.S. Treasury remains committed to a strong Ukrainian economy, which demands
resilient financial sector critical infrastructure. Our ongoing partnership with the National
Bank of Ukraine has reinforced that resilience by enabling the flow of information on
emerging cybersecurity threats,” said Todd Conklin, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection.
Conklin added, “Not only do these ongoing e orts strengthen cybersecurity in Ukraine, but
they also enable the U.S. Treasury team to stay ahead of risks to our own financial services
sector. Threats that confront our counterparts in Kyiv are likely to target the United States as
well. Close collaboration and regular exchanges of information help both countries remain
prepared.”
The MoU entered into e ect on April 4, 2024, a er being signed by representatives in
Washington and Kyiv. It establishes practices for sharing information about cybersecurity
threats and incidents, cyber threat actors, and best practices. The MoU is guided by the
principles of transparency, voluntariness, and confidentiality. It also encourages parties to
exchange views, participate in expert forums and visits, provide assessments and capacity
support, and conduct training.
