Briefing - The role of cyber in the Russian war against Ukraine: Its impact and the consequences for the future of armed conflict - PE 702.594 - Subcommittee on Security and Defence

On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation carried out a further military invasion of Ukraine, violating the UN Charter.
