Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Syromolotov said that the United States admitted to the creation of the "IT-army of Ukraine"

According to him, within the framework of the third session of the UN open-ended working group on information and communication technologies (ICT), the Russian delegation recalled their use by Western countries for offensive purposes.

“They also admit that they created the “IT-army of Ukraine” to attack Russian infrastructure,” Syromolotov told RIA Novosti.

In June, the Ministry of Digital Transformation reported a DDoS attack on the public services portal from Ukraine. 

According to the agency, the Ukrainian side declared its priority goal to paralyze the provision of socially significant services in Russia and published more than 50 IP addresses for cyber attacks.

Earlier, Andrei Krutskikh, director of the Department of International Information Security of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that at least 22 hacker groups were involved in cyber attacks against Russian infrastructure.
