Ukrainian intelligence: Missile strikes on critical infrastructure will be strengthened by cyber attacks
The Ukrainian energy industry will be subjected to massive attacks from both missiles and cyber attacks.
The press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Kremlin intends to carry out massive cyber attacks on critical infrastructure facilities of Ukrainian enterprises and critical infrastructure institutions of Ukraine’s allies. First of all, the blow will be aimed at enterprises in the energy industry,” the Ukrainian intelligence service said in a statement.
It is alleged that the operations will use the experience of cyber attacks on Ukrainian energy systems in 2015 and 2016.
“With this, the enemy will try to enhance the effect of missile attacks on power supply facilities, primarily in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine. The command of the occupiers is convinced that this will lead to a slowdown in the offensive actions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
The Kremlin also intends to increase the intensity of DDoS attacks on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine’s closest allies, primarily Poland and the Baltic countries,” the GUR warns.
