US and British media reported that Washington and London sent cybersecurity experts to Ukraine to counter a “potential cyber attack” from Russia.
 
The New York Times reported Monday that US intelligence believes the Kremlin may order a cyberattack on Ukraine to “undermine the reputation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.”
 
The British newspaper, The Times, reported on Tuesday that London had also sent experts to protect Ukraine from cyber attacks on its energy systems, banking system and other critical infrastructure.
The Times quoted a member of the US Senate Intelligence Committee as saying that the “first attacks” by Russia on Ukraine would be in the cyber domain.
 
US and British officials have not revealed how many experts have been sent to Ukraine, but a British government spokeswoman stressed that the move was “purely defensive”.
 
It is noteworthy that Russia has repeatedly rejected Western and Ukrainian accusations of the alleged preparations for the attack on Ukraine, and denied having any such plans.
