Russia-Ukraine updates: Russia to meet US sanctions with 'strong response'LATEST: Ukraine’s government says a new cyberattack has hit several of its government ministries, knocking their websites offline, amid warnings of attacks from Russia both on the ground and on the web. Sounds like they might be planning something. No need for alarm though I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding. Shouldn’t they/we have been prepared for exactly this ? It’s only Putin’s SOP going back years. You have to take down communication before you launch your attack. So the enemy can't coordinate and respond properly. May God help Ukraine because the super powers are not.
