“But where are the statements of Western partners about the“ Ukrainian hackers ”and the attacks they carry out?
Where are the threats of sanctions for the fact that Kiev "has not been fighting IT crimes for many years, allegedly carried out from the national territory with the connivance of the national special services?" She wrote in her Telegram channel.
According to her, "Washington is very well aware of all this."
"Where ... the statements of the White House and the State Department, where are the editorials of American newspapers with the question: maybe hackers are not only Russians?" Zakharova summed up.
She also added that about 2 thousand people in 71 countries of the world, including the United States, have become victims of at least one group of Ukrainian cyber ransomware.
"The total damage from the actions of the attackers amounted to $ 120 million," Zakharova summed up.
Earlier in the United States, Russian citizen Yevgeny Polyanin was charged with cybercrimes.
In early November, it was reported that the US authorities intend to bring charges related to cyber extortion to the citizens of Russia and Ukraine.
