Russian war drums in the hills

Ukraine was hit by a massive cyberattack and is warning its citizens to "be afraid and expect the worst" as Russia masses more than 100,000 troops on the country’s frontier.

The attack happened after no breakthrough was reached at meetings between Russia and Western states, which fear Moscow could launch a new attack on a country it invaded in 2014.

Russia denies plans to attack Ukraine but says it could take unspecified military action unless demands are met, including a promise by NATO never to admit Kyiv.

Russia said troops in its far east would practice deploying to far-away military sites for exercises as part of an inspection. Defence Ministry footage released by RIA news agency showed numerous armoured vehicles and other military hardware being loaded onto trains in the Eastern Military District.

The cyberattack, which hit government bodies including the ministry of foreign affairs, cabinet of ministers, and security and defence council.
