In this joint Risky Business and Geopolitics Decanted feature interview, Patrick Gray and Dmitri Alperovitch talk to Illia Vitiuk, the Head of the Department of Cyber and Information Security of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) about the cyber dimension to Russia’s invasion.

From turning off Ukraine’s power grid with a cyber attack in 2015 to the Viasat hack in 2022, Russia’s intelligence services are world renowned for executing creative destructive cyber campaigns.
