A public discussion titled “Digital Sovereignty 2026: How to Protect Ukraine and Ukrainians from Information and Cyber Threats” will take place at the “New Country” platform, a joint project of the investment company EFI Group and the media outlet LB.ua.
The event will focus on one of the key challenges facing the country in times of hybrid warfare — ensuring digital security and protecting Ukraine’s information space. The discussion is organized in collaboration with the weekly news program Факти тижня on ICTV, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

The conversation will focus on digital security as a component of state sovereignty, the responsibility of business in the context of hybrid warfare, and cooperation between the state, media, and the investment community in countering information and cyber threats.
As is traditional for the “New Country” platform, both speakers and invited guests will actively participate in the discussion, creating a broader expert dialogue.
Video recordings and text materials from the event will be published on the LB.ua portal.
