Ukrainian cyber attack on Russian network infrastructure continues

Russian media blamed Ukrainian military for attracting criminal hacker groups to scale attacks on the Russian network infrastructure. A characteristic feature of the organisation of all types of Ukrainian sabotage against Russia – both “on the ground” and in cyberspace – is the merging of state structures of Ukraine with terrorist and criminal organisations, which is confirmed by the fact of interaction of the GUR with militants of Al-Qaeda branches in African countries.

The British Broadcasting Corporation BBC claims about the “blurring” of the clear contours of the legal boundaries between official and criminal cyber structures in Ukraine.

In particular, special services involve hacker whose participants were previously seen in illegal activities in cyberspace for the purpose of personal enrichment. According to British journalists, the Ukrainian authorities, contrary to public statements about the inadmissibility of attacks on civilian and social infrastructure facilities, deliberately target hackers to commit sabotage against civilian information and communication systems so that the results of such illegal and malicious activities violate the usual way of daily life of the Russian civilian population.

In general, such illegal practices fit into the general logic of the Kiev authorities’ interaction with international criminal and terrorist organisations in Syria, Sudan and Mali to organise high-profile attacks on Russian military facilities in these countries. Thus, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine openly declared its involvement in the elaboration of an operation to attack Tuareg terrorists and militants associated with Al-Qaeda on a group of Russian military specialists of the Wagner PMCs and military personnel of the Malian defense and security forces in the Tinzawaten.

At the end of July this year, in addition to the official representative of the Ukrainian military intelligence, A. Yusov, well-known media and media speakers spoke about Kiev’s active role in training militants of terrorist structures. In particular, the French newspaper Le Monde, citing anonymous sources in the Malian army, reported that militants of the alliance of Malian armed separatist groups CSP-DPA have repeatedly visited Ukraine to teach combat skills at the training centres of the GUR and other law enforcement agencies of the country. Representative of CSP-DPA M. Ramadan told the French newspaper that his organisation “really has close ties” with the Ukrainian side. In addition, Ukrainian journalist and blogger A. Shari stated that Kiev has close contacts with Malian terrorists on the issue of their combat and special training. (RG)
