Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie voiced this in Ottawa, according to a Ukrinform reporter.

“Canada strongly condemns Russia’s disruptive cyber activities against the European telecommunications sector on February 24, 2022. Canada joins its partners and allies in attributing this activity to Russia,” he said.

According to him, the cyberattack on February 24 “cut off the internet connection of tens of thousands of people in Europe.” “According to Canada, the Russian army is behind this incident. Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, harmful cyber activities and ugly disinformation campaigns are unacceptable and must be stopped.” said.

He added that Canada “shared valuable intelligence on cyber threats and provided valuable cyber assistance to Ukraine to strengthen its defense against Russia’s unjust and illegal invasion.” “This incident highlights a series of devastating cyber actions that despise the rules-based international order. These actions also demonstrate Russia’s readiness to use its cyber capabilities irresponsibly,” he said.

It will be reminded that the Declaration of the EU High Representative was published on the website of the Council of Europe on behalf of the 27 EU member states on Tuesday, and that Russia also condemned the cyber-attack on Ukraine and its critical infrastructure on February 24. Launched just before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the cyberattack targeted the KA-SAT satellite network operated by Viasat and serving some Ukrainian government agencies. The EU finds such actions unacceptable and demands an immediate end to the Kremlin’s military aggression against Ukraine.

On February 24, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and continued its military aggression that began in 2014. Russian troops carry out mass bombings and bombings of peaceful towns and villages of Ukraine and unleash mass terror against the civilian population in the temporarily occupied areas.
