Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation: Ukraine has been “in digital war since 2014”

Published on: 08/06/2022 – 16:49 Since February 24, Ukraine has been working to contain the Russian invasion also in the digital sphere. France 24 spoke with George Dubinskiy, Ukrainian Deputy Minister for Digital Transformation. He explains from kyiv that Ukraine, which suffered several large-scale cyberattacks long before February 24, has been in “computer war” against Moscow since 2014. It defends “not only its land borders, but also digital ones”. George Dubinskiy was delighted on France 24 with the “responsiveness” of the patron and billionaire Elon Musk, who sent to Ukraine more than 10,000 internet connection kits via the Starlink satellite system, at the request of kyiv, in February. Available at a “critical” moment, this technology is proving, according to the deputy minister, a “very effective means” of countering Russian cyberattacks.
