For Volyn, for the OUN UIA [Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists Ukrainian Insurgent Army], Galicia, Polesie and for historical lands". Malicious malware was discovered on multiple computer systems, an attack reached more than 70 government websites. A hacking group linked to Belarus used multiple techniques to break into government computer systems, including hacking into Ukrainian IT company to launch a "supply chain" attack against its government customers. The defacement attacks exploited unpatched versions of the open-source content management system "October CMS", which was supported by Ukrainian software company Kitsoft and other IT companies. The Ukrainian Security Service confirmed, "hackers exploited a specific vulnerability" in a content management system used by the government. "The attackers hacked the infrastructure of a commercial company that had access to the rights to administer the web resources affected by the attack.", highlighted services4. RUSSIA ONCE AGAIN The attack comes at a time of geopolitical tension between Russia and the West. Ms. Olha Stefanishyna, Ukrainian deputy Prime Minister, stated to BBC World News she believed there was a Russian influence behind the cyberattacks impacting the country, "The cyberattacks are happening on a daily basis on websites of the Ukraine of a regional and central nature."5, she said. Jen Psaki, Press Secretary to the Whitehouse stated, "The United States and our allies and partners are concerned about the cyberattack, and the President has been briefed. We are also in touch with the Ukrainians and have offered our support as Ukraine investigates the impact and nature and recovers from the incidents. I know the Ukrainians also announced and conveyed that they got their systems up and running pretty quickly and that personal data was not accessed. We will continue to, of course, work with them and assess any additional impacts. We're continuing to consult with allies and partners, including Ukraine, on this. You might have also seen NATO's statement as well, which says that they're also exchanging information with Ukraine. So that's where the status stands right now. I think it's important to note the Ukrainians' statements on this, which convey very, very clearly that they were able to get their systems up and running."6. 1 https://niebezpiecznik.pl/post/ktos-chcial-nas-wplatac-w-cyberkonflikt-z-ukraina/ ' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG5LpRol3dO ' Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jen Psaki and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, January 14, 2022, https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2022/01/14/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-and-fema-administrator-deanne-criswell-january-14-2022/ p. | 4 ►É ACADEMIC CENTRE FOR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION MAKE IT HYBRID The Centre for Strategic Communication7, the Ukrainian government body that aims to counter disinformation from Russia and elsewhere, claimed in a blogpost that the attack forms part of a campaign that has been continuing since 2014, "Russia's cyber troops are often working against the United States and Ukraine, trying to use technology to shake up the political situation," it said. "The latest cyberattack against Ukraine is one of the manifestations of the hybrid war against our state (...). Its goal is to destabilize the situation in Ukraine by stopping the work of the public sector and undermining the confidence of the government on the part of Ukrainians.", it underlined8. MAIN LINES OF THE ATTAC A signal was sent to the Ukrainian public about the growing threat, the possibility of intercepting personal data. To Western countries, the attack was intended to show that Russia is starting a next stage in the escalation of the conflict and to make the possibility of armed aggression more likely. It can be seen as an element of pressure on Western states to refrain from introducing harsh sanctions on Russia, as they may respond in the form of cyberattacks. Russia is carrying out continuous actions aimed at reinforcing the conviction in Russian society that Western countries are aggressive, also in the context of the escalation of tension around the Ukrainian borders. IT security experts warn that cyberattacks, online espionage and information operations will increase in range and power9. Information about the cyberattack was published the day after the incident: a Cyberattack hits Ukraine government websites (By Kathanna KrebS and Jake Kwon, CNN © Updated 0047 GMT {0&47 MKT) January 15. 2022 000® j A laptop screen displays a warning message in Ukrainian, Russian and Polish that appeared on tne official webarte of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry 7 https://stratcomua.org/en 8 https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252512087/Russian-backed-hackers-defaced-Ukrainian-websites-as-cover-for-dangerous-malwa re-attack 9 Ibid. 10 https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/14/europe/ukraine-cyber-attack-government-intl/index.html ACADEMIC CENTRE FOR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION THE GURADIAN: Luke Harding in A'i'/i f 10 m Ukraine hit by 'massive' cyber-attack on government websites Suspected Russian hackers leave message warning: 'Ukrainians... be afraid and expect worse' a Ukraine has been repeatedly targeted by cyber-attackers since 2014.

REUTERS: Cyberattack hits Ukraine as U.S. warns Russia could be prepping for war 12 ''FALSE FLAG" FOOTPRINTS The hackers defaced government websites with messages written in three languages. They referred to incidents in Ukrainian history, including the genocide in Volyn that led to the deportation of thousands of Poles to Siberian labor camps. Analysis of the Polish version of the hacker's message revealed that it was not written by a native Polish speaker. The false message appeared as an attempt to point the blame at Poland for this hacking operation and to weaken Polish-Ukrainian relations. 11 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/14/ukraine-massive-cyber-attack-government-websites-suspected-russian-hackers 12 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/expect-worst-ukraine-hit-by-cyberattack-russia-moves-more-troops-2022-01-14/ ACADEMIC CENTRE FOR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION There were three main fundaments that were supposed to indicate Poland as an attacker - all debunked: 1. It was based on tragic history events and a very difficult issue in our mutual relations. 2. Messages appeared on these websites in three language versions: Ukrainian, Russian and Polish, while the content written in Polish contained errors indicating computer translation of the message. 3. Metadata of the picture indicated that the source of the attack was located in Warsaw, near the General Staff of the Polish Army (the Warsaw School of Economics). The geographical data was added manually13. RESULT In this case of the False Flag operation Poland was supposed to be accused of standing behind the attack. The aim of the cyberattack was to cause reputation damage to state institutions and international partner, as well as to undermine trust in them. It was primarily a psychological and informational operation. Despite the disinformative nature of the message, the media did not accuse Poland.

There was a reminder posted by many TT users. It is the speech given by Lech Kaczyriski the President of Poland (2005 -2010). President Lech Kaczynski came to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, on August 12, 2008, during the Russian-Georgian war. In this way he opposed the Russian aggression, and his speech turned out to be prophetic for the later fate of the eastern part of Europe. Among others the President stated, "1/1/e perfectly know that today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after tomorrow the Baltic states, and then maybe it's time for my country, for Poland."15. <- Tweet MarcinCzapliriskiO @czaplinskiii Posluchajcie raz jeszcze, tych slow Prezydenta Lecha Kaczyriskiego wypowiedzianych w 2008 roku w Gruzji. #StandWithUkraine Translate Tweet From Marcin Czapliriski 0 6:57 AM ■ Feb 24,2022 • Twitter for iPhone For many years Russia stays aggressivel towards many countries using an array of assets to uphold tensions Russian aggression is multidimensional, uses different methods.
