The writer is a former Nato secretary-general As Ukraine enters its third winter of invasion, its critical infrastructure will again come under assault from missiles, drones and cyberattacks. Russia aims to freeze the Ukrainian population into submission and force the authorities in Kyiv to end their resistance.

It expanded into cyberattacks in 2020, targeting critical infrastructure and government agencies across Nato, often with the aim of disrupting aid deliveries to Ukraine.

Well-maintained infrastructure and technology innovation such as quantum computing, AI and advanced cybersecurity are no longer just a question of economic competitiveness; they are critical for our defence and resilience.
