Vershinin reported an unprecedented level of cyber attacks from Ukraine

Russia has faced an unprecedented level of cyber attacks from Ukraine, but continues to successfully repel them. This was announced on May 29 by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Vershinin at the XIII International Meeting of High Representatives in charge of security issues.

"Russia is the only country that has faced an unprecedented number of computer attacks on the national information infrastructure by, in particular, the Kiev regime. Nevertheless, we were able to ensure the protection of such facilities and continue to successfully repel sabotage," Vershinin said, as quoted by RIA Novosti.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister stressed that all countries of the world are vulnerable to cyber attacks, especially developing ones. Russia considers it a priority to ensure the use of digital technologies exclusively for peaceful purposes and is working to reduce the level of dependence on technological monopolies, he concluded.

At the same time, a new wave of cyber attacks has been recorded in the last two days.

In February, Mikhail Khlebunov, director of Servicepipe products, told Izvestia that the number of DDoS attacks against telecom in Russia increased throughout 2024 and this trend continued in 2025. He noted that the attackers used the tactics of multi-vector carpet attacks, when malicious traffic goes to multiple IP addresses at once.
