The National Resilience Coordination Center should be established in Ukraine. Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov stated this during an interagency working meeting with the participation of representatives of the executive bodies, people’s deputies of Ukraine and the expert community, which took place on Friday.

Mr. Danilov reminded that the National Security Strategy of Ukraine recently approved by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy envisages the establishment of the national system of resilience to ensure a high level of readiness of society and the state to respond to a wide range of threats.

He emphasized that establishing such a system and an appropriate coordination center is an extremely urgent issue for Ukraine. “It’s all about fundamental threats”, - he said.

According to the Secretary of the Council, the Center should become not only a structure for rapid response to challenges but also a powerful analytical hub, which will employ specialists - representatives of the security and defense sector.

“Ukraine has all the capacity to ensure the work of such a Center: the Situation Center of the Head of State at the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Main Situation Center of Ukraine, the National Coordination Center for Cybersecurity at the NSDC”, - he said.
