“No doubt, Kremlin would try again to meddle but this time, we will be prepared. We agreed to coordinate and take joint actions to counter election meddling threats of any nature, be it disinformation campaign or cyberattacks,” he said.
As UNIAN reported earlier, NATO member states offered Ukraine assistance in protecting the electronic network of the Central Election Commission from possible Russian cyberattacks during the elections set to be held in 2019, according to Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze.
