KOR increased funding for the targeted program “Digital Kyiv region” by 3,9 million hryvnias. More than half of this amount was allocated for the purchase of a multimedia LED screen for official events, and the remaining funds will be directed to the development of a cybersecurity profile for the regional state administration and to conduct additional digital forums.
This was learned by KV from Kyiv Oblast Council decision No. 1798-38-VIII dated 20 August 2026 year.
In accordance with the approved changes, the total budget of the program for the current year increased from 50,13 million to 54,03 million hryvnias. Of this amount, 2 million hryvnias were allocated for the purchase of an LED screen with a multimedia equipment kit, which will be used during official events of the Kyiv Oblast Council and the oblast state administration. Another 1,5 million hryvnias will be directed to the development of a dedicated cybersecurity profile for information and communication systems of the KODA. Additionally, the expenditures for events to improve digital development were increased by 400 thousand hryvnias, allowing four thematic forums to be held instead of the two previously planned.
In an interview with KV, acting head of KOR Yaroslav Dobryansky emphasized that the initiator and developer of the program is the regional administration, which shaped the need for these procurements. At the same time, the appearance of a new expenditure item for cybersecurity is explained by changes in state requirements for data protection.
“At the same time, the need to develop a targeted security profile for the system arose due to the transition of state bodies to a risk-oriented model of information protection. The legal grounds for implementing the measure are the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 712 ‘Some Issues of Protection of Information, Electronic Communications, Information and Communications, Technological Systems’. They are needed to determine protection requirements for specific systems, identify gaps, and compile a list of necessary cybersecurity measures,” Dobryansky said.
According to him, the approved changes to the program should stimulate the implementation of modern solutions to improve the quality of electronic services in the region.
“The implementation of new measures is aimed at improving the level of digital development in the Kyiv region by popularizing modern digital solutions, developing digital competencies, establishing interaction between government bodies, territorial communities, and the public, and promoting the introduction of digital technologies to improve the quality and accessibility of public services. On our part, the regional council assesses the proposed changes during their consideration and exercises control over the program’s implementation within its powers. For us, it is essential that every budget decision have a clear justification and yield results,” summarized the official.
