Summary

KYIV – After days of unsuccessful negotiations between the US, NATO, and Russia, hackers took down more than a dozen Ukraine government websites and posted an ominous warning for the country to “be afraid and expect worse.”The cyberattack occurred overnight on Thursday and Friday morning, and it took down more than a dozen official websites, disrupting government work and raising questions about whether Russia was signaling that a new offensive against Ukraine was getting underway.Oleh Nikolenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s foreign ministry told BuzzFeed News that government specialists were working to restore the websites Friday morning and the Ukrainian Cyberpolice Department had opened a criminal investigation. We are assessing the damage caused by the attack,” he said.But some in Ukraine’s government see Russian fingerprints all over the attack and are already blaming Moscow, which has massed around 100,000 soldiers near the Ukrainian borders and threatened a “military response” against its neighbor unless the US and NATO concede to its demands.“It’s pretty obvious [Russia is responsible], because hardly anyone else has the motive for such actions,” a Ukrainian official told BuzzFeed News on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak on the sensitive matter.Officials in Russia didn't immediately return a request for comment.Ukrainian and US officials have warned that if Russia were to launch a fresh invasion of Ukraine it would likely do so in conjunction with cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns.
