There was no claim of responsibility for the cyberattack, but Ukraine has blamed groups with links to the Russian government for similar previous sabotage.

“cyberattack would precede any major military action”

If true, the attack did not do enough harm to the defense forces.

They aren’t the only ones writing about it.
I’m well aware of the deep state’s wishes for war with Russia.

An awful lot of money and time is being spent in preparing people for the Russian attack. But that wascally PUTIN still hasn’t attacked.

So when will he attack? Cheesh.

I can’t imagine taking down websites is a very effective cyber attack.

Are the lights still on and the phone working? If so then a real attack hasn’t been launched.
