Lithuania and others “are activating (the) Cyber Rapid Response Team to help Ukrainian institutions to cope with growing cyber threats,” the Baltic state’s Deputy Defence Minister Margiris Abukevicius tweeted.
The decision comes after Moscow recognised two breakaway regions in Ukraine, prompting backlash from the West and further fuelling fears of a possible Russian invasion of its post-Soviet neighbour.
On Monday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Russia had been using hybrid tactics to “escalate the situation.”
