A senior Ukrainian minister said Wednesday that his country was coming under a “massive” cyberattack, with the main websites of the government and foreign ministry refusing to open.

Deputy Prime Minister Mykailo Fyodorov said the attack began in the late afternoon and affected several banks as well as official websites, without specifying its origin.

Ukraine’s Minister for Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov said the distributed denial-of-service attacks targeted the websites of the Ukrainian parliament, cabinet and foreign ministry.

NATO has blamed recent cyberattacks in Ukraine on Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency and warned further attacks are likely as tensions over a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine mount.

Russia has also started evacuating its embassy in Kyiv. Russian state news agency Tass reported that Russia began pulling personnel from its diplomatic posts in Ukraine on Wednesday.

The move came a day after the Russian Foreign Ministry announced a plan to evacuate, citing threats against Russians in Ukraine.

Or what if Ukraine is the real problem, i.e. Biden’s hidden treasures of billion dollar deals with his son.

Way back, when the protocols and architecture of the net was being set up, a great many of we EEs stated that what we were setting up was a massive party line - with the same potential problems.

Not to worry, we were told.....

First it was last Wednesday, then Friday, then Sunday and now it’s “48 hours”. Should have just said “Sometime in 2022” and cover all the bases. Who is running our intel today? The Comedy Show?

Wars have long been viewed as opportunities by some.

Joe already has the War Stories written.

If you’ve paid attention at all during the last 40 years, you know this to be true.

I believe the Ukraine is the real problem for the US Congress.

Pelosi impeached Trump because he had the nerve to talk to Zelensky.

Putin knows this.

Putin has Congress by the short hairs.

And "The 2022 Sedition Act" is being drafted as we speak.

Exactly. Has anyone bothered to look up who this Zelensky clown came from? Has anyone looked up how well the Crimea district is now doing since those evil Russians “ invaded”. Has Anyone looked into how Ukrainian government passed laws against their Russian citizens living in eastern Ukraine? The list is long, fact is backing Ukraine is backing a very dark horse….anything Senile Joe does is corrupt, best to do the exact opposite of everything he suggests. Dirty Joe has not done one single thing to benefit America, not one…( nor anything pure or righteous)…but yet the uninformed buy into his Ukrainian crisis? Wake up America.
