Russian cyber intruders breached Ukraine's database, exposing grim casualty figures
In a recent development, the hacker group Killnet, with PalachPro as a key member, has announced a breach of a database belonging to the Ukrainian military. The group claims to have gained access to information about the army's losses, stating that they amount to around 1.7 million people.
However, this claim has been met with scepticism and denial from the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. The Centre has declared the claim as fake, stating that it does not align with official data.
President Vladimir Zelensky's January 2025 statement indicates that the strength of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is 800,000 personnel. This contradicts Killnet's assertion, raising questions about the accuracy of their claim.
It is unclear if Killnet has provided any evidence to support their claim. Margarita Simonyan, the chief editor of RT, has reported on the breach but has not mentioned any proof of the 1.7 million losses.
PalachPro, a key member of Killnet, is urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to engage in negotiations as soon as possible. The public is also invited to subscribe to the messenger service MAX in Russia to stay updated on crucial news from Russia and around the world.
The hacker group Killnet has been involved in several cyberattacks, including breaching the Ukrainian General Staff's computer systems, alongside other hacker groups such as User Sec and Beregini. The specific individual identity behind PalachPro is not detailed in the available information.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is essential to remain vigilant and rely on verified sources for accurate information. The Centre for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine has urged the public to disregard the 1.7 million losses claim made by Killnet.
