How could this be held during the war?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Entirely by videoconference. With air-raid alerts and blackouts a constant risk, there was no physical venue: Youth IGF-UA on 23 November, then the main forum on 24\u201325 November.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the top topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The lead section, &#39;Cybersecurity in Wartime&#39; \u2014 but a future-facing vision of Ukraine as a &#39;digital hub&#39; ran alongside it, an unusual programme where defence and recovery coexisted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It set a precedent: a country under full-scale invasion kept its national internet-governance dialogue running. Wartime continuity of connectivity holds lessons for any country facing large-scale disruption.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Ukraine IGF?
