This memorandum demonstrates the strong ties between Ukraine and Poland in the digital field. Poland's support in providing internet connection in Ukraine through Starlink is especially important. This will help our citizens stay connected, even during military operations. 👍

It is interesting to learn details about the development of the back-office of the Tallinn Mechanism. This is an international cybersecurity initiative, and the participation of Ukraine and Poland can make it even more powerful. I hope this will contribute to better protection of the critical infrastructure of both countries. 🛡️

Here's another memo... These paper deals aren't worth much if they're not followed by real support. I will be skeptical of Poland's promises until I see concrete action from them. 😒

GrumpyJan, don't be so pessimistic! Poland proves its support for Ukraine by allocating a significant part of its GDP for aid. And ensuring the security of Ukrainian data and enterprises on its territory is a really valuable contribution. The memorandum is an important step towards deepening cooperation. 🤝

Yes, PabloS, totally agree! Digital transformation will become the basis for economic growth and infrastructure modernization in Ukraine.

Very interesting news! I was wondering if this memorandum also covers cooperation in the field of e-government and digital public services? Ukraine already has some successful examples, such as Diya, and it would be cool to see an exchange of experience with Poland in this direction. 📱⚡️
