Moscow turned out to be very bad at cyber: Fareed Zakaria on Russia-Ukraine war
India Today
Indian-American journalist Fareed Zakaria said that Ukrainians jammed all Russian cyber efforts and the Russians turned out to be very bad at cyber.
After three months into the war, Russia has abandoned its assault on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and is fully focused on capturing the industrial eastern region of Donbas. Veteran journalist and geopolitical expert Fareed Zakaria said that Ukrainian resistance was effective as Russians turned out to be very bad at cyber.
Speaking exclusively to India Today's News Director Rahul Kanwal, Fareed Zakaria said, "The Ukrainian counterattack [backed by the US] was much more effective than what they expected. Ukrainians jammed all Russian cyber efforts and the Russians turned out to be very bad at cyber."

"Russian soldiers are bringing mobile phones into battle zones and Ukrainians have jammed those SIM cards. Russians are then buying new SIM cards from Ukraine, enabling the Ukrainian army to target them precisely. Which is why Russia lost 10 generals," he added.
The Indian-American journalist further claimed that Russia hasn't deployed sophisticated missile systems as it might cross the line, prompting Nato and the US to get involved directly in the war.
