Poland’s national security bureau chief, Slawomir Cenckiewicz, has claimed that his country is currently engaged in a cyberwar with Russia. “When we look at the cyber domain, Poland is now in a state of war [with Russia], it’s not a state of threat any more,” Cenckiewicz told the Financial Times.
He further accused Russia of allegedly using cryptocurrency to finance what he described as hybrid attacks targeting European Union member states. However, Cenckiewicz did not provide evidence to substantiate these claims. Similar accusations have previously been made by EU and NATO countries, alleging Russian involvement in hybrid or cyber operations, often without proof.
In response to such allegations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated that Moscow sees no reason to comment on claims regarding Russia’s supposed involvement in cyberattacks against NATO or the European Union, emphasizing that such accusations are baseless and politically motivated.
