- Russia moves its target to the United Kingdom
- The United Kingdom supports coherent cyber attacks
- Cyberattacks aim to create chaos and disrupt services
Putin withdrew the United States to avoid antagonizing the Trump administration, reports the Times. Earlier this year, it was reported that a large Russian hacking group moved from us to targets in the United Kingdom, so it seems that the Kremlin now follows suit.
British government sources have described an “increase” of hybrid attacks since the beginning of 2025, including cyber attacks that seek to sabotage critical infrastructure, such as the previously observed cartography of the fiber optic cables.
Trump’s more favorable attitude towards Russia compared to previous administrations pushed Russia to pivot more hard against Great Britain, British spy leaders warning that the main facets of the national infrastructure undergo continuous attacks of the actors of the threat sponsored by the Russian state.
Sustained attacks
The offensives of the Russian threat aim to create a “chaos supported in the British and European streets”, explains Sir Ken McCallum, director general of the MI5. Russian actors have managed to disrupt and damaged the services in Ukraine and have fallen capacity by energy attacks, agriculture, retail and more – demoraged blows to Ukrainian soldiers and people.
A senior government official told Times; “It is really obvious to the recent propaganda of Russia that we are targeted n ° 1,” said the official. “If only the British state was as powerful as they claim it.”
These attacks could cause unspeakable damage if land struck more powerful on a British target. For example, if an organization of health care or an energy service provider has been put out of line, this could have immediate and deadly consequences.
Another initiate of Whitehall said to the publication: “But when we say indirect, it is not as indirect as it may seem. Russia, for example, transmitted it to a very talented 18 -year -old pirate group and say “fill your boots”. “
