WINS and the Ukrainian Nuclear Society Join Forces
The World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS) and the Public Organization “Ukrainian Nuclear Society” (UKrNS) are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organizations.
Under the agreement, both organizations will combine their expertise in nuclear security – including cybersecurity, insider threat mitigation, and supply chain security – through information sharing, joint research and publications, and capacity-building activities.
“Strengthening nuclear security requires robust partnerships and shared expertise. This MoU with the Ukrainian Nuclear Society brings together our complementary strengths to address the evolving landscape of nuclear security risks,” noted Lars van Dassen, Executive Director of WINS. “In particular, learning from Ukraine’s experience helps the global community strengthen our collective ability to anticipate risks and build resilient, secure nuclear operations in an increasingly complex threat environment.”
“The signing of this Memorandum is a significant step for the Ukrainian nuclear community. We believe that joining our efforts will strengthen the nuclear security culture and provide new opportunities for professional growth and international cooperation for the more than 3,000 members of the Ukrainian Nuclear Society,” stated Volodymyr Kholosha, President of the Ukrainian Nuclear Society.
