Britain said on June 18 it would expand its program to help Ukraine's cyberdefenses as it launches a counteroffensive against Russia. In the announcement, the British government said it would provide another 16 million pounds ($20.5 million) in funding, with the potential for a further 9 million pounds to come from international allies. London said the package -- which adds to 6.35 million pounds announced last year -- would better equip Ukraine to defend its critical national infrastructure from crippling Russian attacks as Kyiv mounts a counteroffensive to push back Russian forces from the swathes of southern and eastern Ukraine that they occupy.
