Paul Nakasone, the U.S. Cyber Command director, confirmed in an interview last week that the department “conducted a series of operations” in support of Ukraine’s war effort against Russia.
The four-star general did not go into specific details about what the operations entailed during his interview with Sky News, but said these offensive cyber operations spanned “across the full spectrum: offensive, defensive, information operations.”
The Hill reported that Nakasone insisted that the operations were lawful.
“My job is to provide a series of options to the secretary of Defense and the president, and so that’s what I do,” he said, according to the report. He made the comments during a cyber conference in Estonia. RT reported that he also revealed that the U.S. ‘eavesdroppers conduct information warfare, with the help of corporate media such as CNN.”
He said the U.S. provides true information in its information warfare while the Russians lie. In April, The Trends Journal ran a report that called U.S. reports on Russia’s alleged use of a lie. NBC News published a report that challenged Washington’s claim that Russia is planning a chemical attack against Ukrainian forces, with one unnamed official going as far as to say that the claim was an effort by the U.S. to get into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s head.
The report cited three U.S. officials who said there is no evidence that Russia is planning a chemical attack against Ukraine.
Some analysts say the U.S. is fighting a proxy war with Russia, but we have pointed out that Washington is in a direct war with Moscow. The U.S. has been providing intelligence and weapons training. (See “U.S. INTEL HELPED UKRAINE KILL RUSSIAN GENERALS, SINK FLAGSHIP, REPORTS SAY.”)
The Pentagon denied the report.
