CIA says cyberattacks against Ukraine in 2017 committed by Russian military - Washington Post
http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/476772.html
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) believes that cyberattacks against Ukraine in 2017 were committed by Russian military hackers in order to disrupt the financial system of the Ukrainian state amid its ongoing war in Donbas with separatists loyal to the Kremlin, the Washington Post has said, citing a CIA report.
According to the statement, the CIA concluded with "high confidence" that a mock ransomware virus dubbed NotPetya, which attacked computers of Ukrainian banks, energy companies, airports and senior government officials in June 2017, was created by the military spy agency of the Russian Chief Intelligence Directorate (GRU).
At the same time, the Washington Post notes that the CIA declined to comment.
However, the newspaper recalls that the virus also affected computer systems in Denmark, India and the United States, but more than half of those victimized were in Ukraine.
"The attacks reflect Russia's mounting aggression in cyberspace as part of a larger 'hybrid warfare' doctrine that marries traditional military means with cyber-tools to achieve its goal of regional dominance," the newspaper quotes Robert Hannigan, former head of Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency, as saying.

The ATO HQ recorded a new fact of the presence of the Russian equipment in Donbas.
On January 14, Russian UAV ‘Orlan 10’ was shot down in the region (the third one since the truce beginning).
‘Orlan 10’ is intended for a variety of missions including air reconnaissance, observation, and monitoring. This unmanned aerial vehicle carries a thermal imaging camera, a photo camera and a video camera. The cameras provide real-time intelligence, 3D maps, surveillance, and aerial reconnaissance of ground-based targets.
The Ukrainian air defence forces reveal enemy’s UAVs, track them and shoot them down, if necessary.
