US Defense Minister Hegseth has apparently ordered all cyber operations to be suspended against Russia. The New York Times reports. The measure should promote negotiations with President Putin.
US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, according to media reports, has ordered all cyber operations against Russia. The measure is part of a general re-assessment of the US operations against Moscow, the New York Times reported. The step is apparently part of a greater effort to move the Russian President Vladimir Putin to talks about Ukraine and a new relationship with the USA, according to the newspaper.
According to the report, Hegseth's instructions took place before the public exchange of blows between President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj on Friday in the Oval Office.
The exact scope of the arrangement of the Ministry of Defense is still unclear, since the boundaries between offensive and defensive cyber operations are often fluid. The arrangement applies to the “foreseeable future”. She does not affect the National Security Agency (NSA). The Pentagon rejected a statement.
Eklat in the White House
US President Trump urges negotiations to terminate the war in Ukraine and approached Moscow. During a visit to Selenskyj on Friday in Washington there was a scandal: Trump and his Vice President JD Vance threw Selenskyj in the Oval Office, lack of gratitude for US military aid and disrespect.
Trump also threatened to end the US support if Selenskyj should not agree with a “deal” with Russia. In Europe, Trump's U-turn in the USA's Russia policy caused great concern.
