Hackers from the Ukrainian IT Army, a volunteer group of computer experts, are collecting data to catalog Russian soldiers who killed and tortured Ukrainians. This is essential to aid decision making on the battlefield. The minister did not specify, however, exactly how this affected. The goal, according to Fedorov, is “so that everyone can understand who came to Ukraine and killed Ukrainians”.

Modern technologies such as facial recognition, with the help of artificial intelligence that decodes information from security cameras, are helping us identify Russian war crimes.
– says the minister.

Other interview details

• Mykhailo Fedorov recalled the attack on RuTube, a Russian video platform owned by Gazprom. The site was down or down for about a week, and the attack itself was “timed for Victory Day”. In addition, hackers even hacked the badges of RuTube employees – they could not get into the office of the company.
• Ukraine’s IT military is also working to keep Russian citizens informed about the war, which state-controlled media continues to describe the invasion as a “special operation”.
• Ukraine government officials have been preparing for possible cyberattacks from Russia for months, said Fedorov. He said he was aware of digital threats to Kiev’s energy infrastructure and was investigating vulnerabilities to fix them before Russian hackers took action.

We formed a red team in the fall of last year and from November we started scanning and attacking ourselves, we started to apply new cyber security rules,
– says the minister.

This work is still ongoing. According to Fedorov, Russian hackers targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure by synchronizing cyberattacks with missile attacks. They scan Ukrainian systems when trying to get into the network.
