Since the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, aggressive cyber warfare has been launched against Russia. President Vladimir Putin has stated that the number of cyberattacks has since multiplied.
"The number of cyberattacks on the Russian information infrastructure has been constantly growing in recent years. In recent years, but with the start of a special military operation in Donbas, in Ukraine, the challenges in this area have become even more acute and serious, more ambitious. In fact, real aggression has been unleashed against Russia, the war in cyberspace," Putin said at a Security Council meeting.

Furthermore, Putin noted that the cyberattacks against Russia have been perpetrated from various well-coordinated sources in multiple countries. Experts said that lone hackers cannot conduct such well-devised and complex attacks. In essence, said Putin, "these are the actions of state structures".
The president also mentioned that the armies of some countries already include cyber troops officially.
