Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna condemns Russia's cyberattacks against the United Kingdom
The statement by the government of the United Kingdom that Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has been conducting cyberattacks for years against democratic institutions in the UK with the aim of undermining the democratic process proves once again that Russia poses a threat not only in Ukraine, where it is waging a bloody war of aggression; instead, it attempts to inflict damage in other countries as well.
Estonia stands up for countries respecting international law in cyberspace. We consider it crucial to preserve an open, stable and safe cyberspace. To this end, states must act responsibly and follow the norms of international law.
Therefore, we support the statement opens in a new tab of the United Kingdom, attributing the attacks to the Star Blizzard group operated by the FSB. Both the European Union opens in a new tab and other Allies have expressed solidarity with the United Kingdom - it is a sign we are united and uphold our common values. We assure that Estonia and all our closest Allies are committed to protecting cyberspace and are ready to give a full response to threats posed by cyber attacks.
