The Chinese regime launched a massive cyberattack on vital Ukrainian infrastructure in the lead-up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a report by UK media outlet The Times. The attack included efforts to degrade the Ukrainian military and nuclear facilities.

More than 600 websites owned by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense in Kyiv weathered thousands of hacking attempts coordinated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to the report.
