American artificial intelligence company OpenAI announced it will provide Ukraine with access to its advanced AI-powered cybersecurity tools. The initiative, revealed during the UN General Assembly in New York, includes the 'Daybreak' program and the GPT-5.6 Sol model. The stated goal is to bolster the protection of Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, energy facilities, and telecommunications networks, against cyberattacks.
The Ukrainian cybersecurity agency, CERT-UA, reported nearly 6,000 cyber incidents in 2025. OpenAI noted that Ukraine faces persistent cyber threats, particularly from Russia. The company has a history of providing similar cybersecurity access to entities such as the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and nations including France, Germany, and Poland.
Disagreement on specific model access
While Dnevni list Danas reports that OpenAI will provide access to its 'Daybreak' program and GPT-5.6 Sol model, ZN.UA states Ukraine will receive access to Daybreak and GPT-5.6 Sol, described as the most powerful OpenAI model. News-pravda.com also mentions access to the GPT 5.6 Sol AI model as part of the agreement.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated reports mention the $1 billion commitment by OpenAI to frontline defenders that was noted in the centre-rated WebProNews digest. None of the right-rated reports mention the specific figure of nearly 6,000 cyber incidents recorded in 2025 by CERT-UA, a detail present in the left-rated Dnevni list Danas and Euromaidan Press reports, and the centre-rated ZN.UA.
