The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine received another shipment of equipment from the IT Coalition during July and August, funded by Luxembourg, Ireland, Belgium, and Estonia. The total value amounted to €10 million.
This time, the partners delivered:
- 6,948 laptops for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) units, as well as for the information and communication systems Oberih, Impulse, and the Medical Information System;
- 318 charging stations;
- 2,304 communication devices;
- 442 monitors;
- equipment for the data processing centers of the Ministry of Defense and the AFU;
- network equipment for the Oberih ICS infrastructure;
- routers, switches, licenses, and other equipment for the implementation of AFU software-defined networks.
In a separate shipment, Latvia provided 1,000 routers worth more than €77,000.
These were already the fourth and fifth deliveries from the IT Coalition in 2025. In January of this year, under the initiative, Estonia, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg handed over equipment worth €3.3 million; in February — €7.5 million; and in April — around €2 million.
“Thanks to the new delivery from the IT Coalition countries, we will be able to technically equip the AFU units where digital products and services are being introduced. I thank our partners for strengthening our technological capabilities,” said Oksana Ferchuk, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine for Digitalization.
The IT Coalition is one of the capability coalitions within the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (the “Ramstein” format). It supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense in the fields of IT, communications, and cybersecurity. Currently, the coalition includes Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, and Japan.
