Sweden and Ukraine have signed a new cybersecurity cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening their defenses against Russian cyber threats. The agreement was formalized during the Munich Security Conference on February 13, 2026, according to Swedish media reports.
Swedish Minister for Civil Defense Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M) announced the partnership, stating it involves information exchange between government agencies about Russian activities and aims to enhance resilience in the cyber domain. "This is signed with the new National Cybersecurity Centre in Sweden. It's about an exchange of experience where together we will become better at meeting Russian antagonism," Bohlin told TV4 Nyheterna.

The cooperation will be managed by Sweden's National Cybersecurity Centre at the Defense Radio Establishment (FRA). Bohlin emphasized that Ukraine has extensive experience with advanced Russian cyber aggression, both since the full-scale invasion began and even before that. "This will really be a strengthening for both countries," he said.
The agreement focuses on sharing methodologies and developing better defenses against what Bohlin described as constantly evolving Russian cyber tactics. "We see how Russia and other states are constantly changing their behavior and actions and looking for new vulnerabilities," he noted.
