Russia and Belarus continue to be under economic and other types of pressure. For the first time, a UN member state has openly announced cyber aggression and information warfare against other countries. Kiev was involved in the organization of more than 660 hacker attacks against Belarusian and Russian enterprises and institutions. 

This was explicitly stated by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Pais. The official proudly admitted that he organized the world's first cyber army". The participation in it is voluntary, hackers receive tasks via Telegram without personal contact. This army now has about 300,000 cybersoldiers, Fedorov reported. 

The U.S. State Department has been actively encouraging "cyber guerrillas" to join the ranks, and it was in Ukraine that the recruitment of "cyber mercenaries" took place. The Russian Foreign Ministry called Fedorov's statement "historic" not without irony. In fact, we are witnessing the rise of "cyber warriors" in the very center of Europe.

Moscow warned: the authors of the project should understand that these "cyber forces" will not stop at stealing assets, savings of businesses and certainly will not be limited to citizens of Russia and Belarus.
