What role are cyber operations playing in the Ukrainian war? In this presentation, Dr Philipp Lutscher will elaborate on how Ukraine became a testbed for Russian cyber actions since 2014, talk about different activities, such as Denial-of-Service attacks and their motivation, and show that such cyber operations played a rather marginal role in the conflict thus far. Finally, Philipp will talk about Russia's strategy of information control, more precisely, the use of bots, disinformation campaigns, and censorship.
