📋 Tender Overview
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine supported the draft law "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Sanctions" Regarding the Prohibition of the Use of Software Products and Access to Electronic Information Resources." Soon, Ukrainian companies must completely abandon the programs of the aggressor countries in order to preserve national security.
In order to increase the country's cyber defense, the State Special Communications Service, on the instructions of the National Security and Defense Council, developed this bill. It strengthens the sanctions legislation regarding the listing of digital products. This applies to software and information resources created by Russian companies or any representatives of countries related to the activities of aggressor countries or terrorist organizations.
In particular, the draft law prohibits the distribution and use by legal entities of software products that:
Created by individuals or legal entities from foreign countries subject to sanctions;
Created by legal entities whose share in the authorized capital is owned by such states;
Created by legal entities that are under the control of foreign legal entities or individuals engaged in terrorist activities;
Software products created using the source or object code of sanctioned software products;
Software products developed by sanctioned persons, regardless of their country of origin.
The draft law also provides for the prohibition of access to electronic information resources on the Internet that are owned or controlled by persons or organizations against which sanctions have been applied. This applies to websites, web pages, electronic communication networks and information and communication systems.
The implementation of the draft law will help increase the level of cyber protection of information and communication systems in the conditions of existing and potential threats to the national security of Ukraine, in particular due to the military aggression of the Russian Federation.
