The Signal and Cybersecurity Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not just radios, cables, and servers. They are people who, under fire and in any conditions, establish communications, repair equipment, protect networks from enemy attacks, and ensure uninterrupted information exchange. You work where seconds decide the outcome of battle, where a mistake can cost lives, and where the right signal saves an entire unit. Your service is a combination of technical mastery, composure, and courage.

Recently, the Scientific Center for Integrity Education and Corruption Prevention in the Security and Defense Sector of the National Defence University of Ukraine (VITES), together with the Department for Prevention and Detection of Corruption of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, held a scientific-practical seminar on “A Model of a Multi-Level Training System for Military Personnel and Civilian Staff on Integrity Education and Corruption Prevention within the Components of Ukraine’s Defense Forces, Taking into Account Current Needs and Security Challenges.” As a result of active discussions, the participants developed proposals for transforming the system of anti-corruption work in higher military educational institutions into a consistent and interconnected policy of fostering integrity in line with NATO standards.

The National Defence University of Ukraine has launched its first training course in the “Army+” application — the course “Stop Corruption. Authorized Personnel.” It is designed for the professional training of officials responsible for preventing and detecting corruption and represents an important step in building an effective anti-corruption system within the Defense Forces. The course was developed by the University’s Scientific Center for Integrity Education and Corruption Prevention in the Security and Defense Sector with the support of the UK Special Defence Adviser’s programme and is available in the “Army+” application under the “Training” section.

The aim of the project is to provide military personnel and their families with important legal information and raise their awareness of legal issues through a series of short videos. The initiative offers video consultations on the most relevant topics: how to properly file a report, appeal a medical examination committee's decision, receive free prosthetics or medical services without queuing, exercise the right to financial assistance, what to do in case of disappearance or capture, and how to seek free legal aid.

Representatives of the Research Centre for Integrity Education and Corruption Prevention in the Security and Defence Sector of the National Defence University of Ukraine (BITEC) participated in the discussion of a unified action plan to implement NATO recommendations under Goal 0204 ‘Building Integrity’ of the Ukraine-NATO Interoperability Roadmap. The event was coordinated by the National Agency for Corruption Prevention with the involvement of the NATO Representation in Ukraine, the Centre for Integrity in the Defence Sector at the Norwegian Ministry of Defence (CIDS), the Government Office for Coordination of European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, representatives of security and defence sector bodies, and other ministries.
