It is the policy of the United States— to support multilateral, intergovernmental, and nongovernmental efforts to improve Ukraine’s cybersecurity capacity, including addressing legislative and regulatory gaps in Ukraine’s cybersecurity policies, improving cybersecurity sector governance, and expanding collaboration among relevant stakeholders in both the public and private sectors; to work with the Government of Ukraine to strengthen cybersecurity technical capacity within critical infrastructure sectors and improve the overall cybersecurity workforce by strengthening cybersecurity-related academic and training programs and exchanges; to work closely with the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, and the National Cyber Security Centre of the United Kingdom to bolster Ukraine’s cyber defense capabilities; and to strengthen the ability of the Government of Ukraine to detect, investigate, disrupt, and deter cyberattacks and to develop cybersecurity incident response teams.
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on efforts to implement the policy described in subsection (a). In the event the Government of the Russian Federation or any of its proxies engages in a cyberattack or cyber incident that materially disrupts or degrades any critical infrastructure in Ukraine, the President shall evaluate whether imposing any of the sanctions described in section 310 is in the national security interests of the United States.
