Ukraine  fully trusts the recently published results of the investigation by the US Department of Justice and the indictment of six employees of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate for their involvement in a number of cyberattacks around the world, namely in Ukraine, the United States, France, Georgia and South Korea.

Ukraine fully supports the statement of the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo condemning in the strongest possible terms the Russian Federation’s continuing disruptive, destructive, and destabilizing activities in cyberspace. These cyber activities demonstrate a complete disregard for public safety and international stability. 

Ukraine reconfirms its stance that the norms and principles of international law are fully applied to the behavior of states in cyberspace, and that those responsible for cyberattacks should be held accountable.

Ukraine appeals to the international community to continue coordinated pressure on Russia to stop its systematic violations of norms and principles of international law, in particular, the use of cyber instruments for malicious purposes, threatening the security of global cyberspace.
