10/05/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday 10 May, the EU High Representative, Josep Borrell, strongly condemned on the behalf of the EU the Russian Federation’s cyber attack on Ukraine, which targeted the KA-SAT satellite network operated by Viasat an hour before the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, “facilitating the military aggression”. This is the first time the EU has attributed a cyber attack to the Russian state. “This cyberattack had a significant impact causing indiscriminate communication outages and disruptions (...) in Ukraine as well as affecting several EU Member States”, the High Representative said. He warned that the EU, in close cooperation with its partners, was considering further measures to “prevent, discourage, deter and respond to such malicious behaviour in cyberspace”, and would continue to provide support to Ukraine to strengthen its cyber resilience.
