A UK cabinet minister has warned of a hidden cyber war being waged by Russia as Vladimir Putin ramped up his threats to the West, hailing Moscow’s “unstoppable” hypersonic missiles.
Liz Kendall warned that Russia would do everything within its power to destabilise Ukraine as well as Nato allies.
“There is not only open military war with Russia as the aggressor, but there is also a hidden cyber war,” she told Sky News.
“Russia will do everything in its power to destabilise not only within Ukraine but amongst the Nato allies There is a threat from Russia, this hidden warfare, as well as the open military aggression.”
Meanwhile, Putin claimed there was no way of stopping the intermediate-range “Oreshnik” ballistic missile used to strike Ukraine on Thursday.
“There is no countermeasure to such a missile, no means of intercepting it, in the world today. And I will emphasise once again that we will continue testing this newest system,” Mr Putin warned.
