U.S. Says Ukraine Cyber Attack Is ‘Part of Russian Playbook’: FT

Victoria Nuland, the U.S. under secretary of state for political affairs, said a large-scale cyberattack against Ukraine on Friday was a “tried and true part of the Russian playbook,” the Financial Times reported, citing an interview with her.

But Nuland stopped short of blaming Russia for the cyberattack, which was the worst in four years in Ukraine and brought down the websites of scores of government agencies for hours.
