Cyberwarfare
Ukraine has come under severe cyber attack, Reuters reports.
Ukraine’s Security and Defence Counci said in the latest incident, unidentified sources launched denial of service (DoS) attacks which are intended to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users.
“There was a massive DoS-attack on communication channels of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, which was apparently aimed at hindering a response to the challenges faced by our state,” the Security and Defence Council said. It said the Ukrainian state-run news agency Ukrinform had suffered a similar attack.
The Ukrainian authorities said last week the country’s telecommunications system had come under attack, with equipment installed in Russian-controlled Crimea used to interfere with the mobile phones of members of parliament. They said that some Internet and telephone services were severed after Russian forces seized control of airfields and key installations in Ukraine’s Crimea region. The government has told ministries to take urgent measures to prevent their websites being blocked and ordered law enforcement bodies to investigate “evidence of cyber attacks and punish those responsible in their implementation”.
The Ukrainian security chiefs did not say who was behind the communications disruptions.

Central European states plead for US gas exports
Ambassadors from Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic urged the United States to boost natural gas exports to Europe as a hedge against the risk that Russia could cut its supply of gas to Ukraine, according to AP.
In a letter to John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the ambassadors ask for Congress to support speedier approval of natural gas exports. It notes that the “presence of U.S. natural gas would be much welcome in Central and Eastern Europe.”
The ambassadors say the unrest in Ukraine has revived Cold War memories, and energy security threatens the region’s residents daily. “Gas-to-gas competition in our region is a vital aspect of national security and a key U.S. interest in the region,” the ambassadors wrote.
Boehner and Republicans have been urging the Obama administration to clear the way for more exports to capitalize on America’s current natural gas boom. The U.S. Energy Department has approved only six export licenses, while about two dozen remain pending.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday that because Europe has had a relatively mild winter, gas supplies are sufficient. He said even if the U.S. did approve more export licenses, it would take until the end of 2015 for gas to be delivered.
“Proposals to try to respond to the situation in Ukraine that are related to our policy on exporting natural gas would not have an immediate effect,” Earnest said.

London protests
We have just received this press release from Londonmaidan, pro-Ukraine supporters in London who will be protesting outside the Chelsea ground.
London Ukrainians protest against Putin-ally Abramovich
On Saturday 8 March at 4pm Ukrainians living in London will protest outside Stamford Bridge against Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich’s support of Vladimir Putin.
The protesters are calling for the UK to back proposals for sanctions against Ukrainian and Russian oligarchs in London who have supported President Putin and his invasion of Ukraine.
Putin has made clear he is not interested in a diplomatic solution to the crisis, and the protesters believe sanctions against his supporters is one of the only options the West has to ensure peace in Crimea.
Roman Abramovich is a known close confidant and political ally of Vladimir Putin. Abramovich has an estimated fortune of U.S.$14.6 billion, and is the 50th richest person in the world, according to the 2012 Forbes list.
London Ukrainians have also held protests outside ONE Hyde Park, home of Ukraine’s richest man Rinat Akhmetov, who supported former president Viktor Yanukovych.
They also held a protest at the London Stock Exchange, which invited Yanukovych-backer Dmitro Firtash to open trading in London.
I wonder if Spurs fans will join in.
