Abstract

The ongoing cyberwar between the US and Russia has a significant impact on Ukraine, especially on its political stability and vital infrastructure. With an emphasis on Ukraine's rise as a major cyber theatre, this abstract examines the relationship between geopolitical tensions and cyberwarfare.Russia's ongoing cyberattacks have put Ukraine's critical infrastructure at risk, often resulting in significant disruption and monetary losses.These attacks have targeted government organisations, banks, and energy systems. Due to the US stepping up its defence of Ukraine through defensive cybersecurity measures and intelligence cooperation, Ukraine has turned into a proxy in the larger cyberwar between the US and Russia.
