A massive cyberattack alert on Ukrainians and hope that the latest government coup this Friday afternoon will leave some websites inaccessible tomorrow.
The spokeswoman for Ukraine ‘s security administration said it was too early to say who might be responsible for the attack.
The cyberattack, which has hit the foreign minister, the cabinet of ministers and the security council of the Kiev Defense Commission , raised concerns about a possible Russian military offensive against Russia .
It is highly unlikely that any conclusions about Russian cyberattacks against Ukraine have been published in recent years, the foreign minister reported to Reuters.

A senior Ukrainian security official told Reuters: All cybersecurity subjects were aware of the threats caused by the Russian Federation. The response to these incidents is usual. The government said most of the affected sites have been restored and there is no personal information. Hundreds of government websites have been suspended to prevent the attack from spreading.
Relations between Ukraine and Russia plummeted after Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014 and a conflict between Kyiv forces or Russian separatists in the eastern region.

Russia warned of the possibility of serious consequences if there is no agreement on the security lines that the Kremlin has called red nets, but said that Moscow had not realized diplomacy and could accelerate this.
Russia rejects the demands of diplomacy, but warns of unusual consequences for Western security if its demands are not met.
The Ukraine has suffered a series of cyber-attacks since 2014, which have destroyed power supplies, filled supermarket phones and forced the hryevnia currency authorities to go into overdrive.
Russia believes the attacks are part of the hybrid war against Ukraine and its allies.
