Washington could impose sanctions on Russia in response to alleged cyberattacks on Ukraine, even before any potential ground invasion, a member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee revealed on Wednesday.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy confirmed that “pre-invasion sanctions” were being considered in response to Moscow’s alleged targeting of Ukrainian digital infrastructure.
Washington has repeatedly stated that bold measures will be taken against Russia if it were to make a military incursion into Ukraine. Such sanctions would target specific sectors of the country’s economy, as well as certain individuals like President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The supposed threat to Ukraine’s cybersecurity is nudging some senators toward imposing measures immediately, while others want to include cyberattack-specific sanctions within the wider measures that will be rolled out in the event of a Russian invasion. In any case, Washington has now deemed a future cyberattack on Ukraine to be a trigger for the imposition of more sanctions on Moscow.
