Ukraine News in brief. Friday 7 July. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia chief suspect of US nuclear site hacking

Russia chief suspect of US nuclear site hacking

Ukraine News in brief. Friday 7 July. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

Hackers working for a government outside the U.S. recently breached at least a dozen U.S. power plants, including the Wolf Creek nuclear facility in Kansas.

Current and former U.S. officials told Bloomberg, Censor.NET reports.

The rivals could be positioning themselves to eventually disrupt the nation's power supply, warned the officials, who noted that a general alert was distributed to utilities a week ago. Adding to those concerns, hackers recently infiltrated an unidentified company that makes control systems for equipment used in the power industry, an attack that officials believe may be related.

The chief suspect is Russia, according to three people familiar with the continuing effort to eject the hackers from the computer networks. One of those networks belongs to an aging nuclear generating facility known as Wolf Creek -- owned by Westar Energy Inc., Great Plains Energy Inc. and Kansas Electric Power Cooperative Inc. -- on a lake shore near Burlington, Kansas.

The possibility of a Russia connection is particularly worrisome, former and current officials say, because Russian hackers have previously taken down parts of the electrical grid in Ukraine and appear to be testing increasingly advanced tools to disrupt power supplies.

The hacks come as international tensions have flared over U.S. intelligence agencies' conclusion that Russia tried to influence the 2016 presidential election. The U.S., which has several continuing investigations into Russia's activities, is known to possess digital weapons capable of disrupting the electricity grids of rival nations.

"We don't pay attention to such anonymous fakes," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, in response to a request to comment on alleged Russian involvement.

It was unclear whether President Donald Trump was planning to address the cyberattacks at his meeting on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In an earlier speech in Warsaw, Trump called out Russia's "destabilizing activities" and urged the country to join "the community of responsible nations".

Ukraine News in brief. Friday 7 July. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Tillerson appointed former NATO envoy Volker special representative to Ukraine

Fri Jul 07, 2017 12:52 pm
Tillerson appointed former NATO envoy Volker special representative to Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has appointed Kurt Volker, the former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, to serve as a special representative to Ukraine.

Censor.NET reports citing Reuters.

Volker will be responsible for advancing U.S. interests as set out in the 2015 Minsk agreement and will accompany Tillerson to Kyiv on Sunday, the department said.

Volker was a career diplomat who served as permanent representative to NATO under Republican President George W. Bush and Democratic President Barack Obama. He is currently a foreign policy and national security expert at the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University.

"Kurt's wealth of experience makes him uniquely qualified to move this conflict in the direction of peace," Tillerson said. "The United States remains fully committed to the objectives of the Minsk agreements, and I have complete confidence in Kurt to continue our efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine."

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Volker did not sign a letter from more than 90 Republican foreign policy veterans who pledged to oppose Trump, a real estate tycoon with no government or foreign policy experience.

Volker, who was director for European and Eurasian affairs in Bush's National Security Council, said he had concerns that any letter from "national security intelligentsia" could backfire.

"He would actually use it as a bragging right," Volker told Reuters in March. He said he had no intention of working for Trump but wanted to be free to offer advice to any future president, and that such a letter could prompt Trump to hold a grudge.

Ukraine News in brief. Friday 7 July. [Ukrainian sources] Empty US and Russia offer rival accounts of first Trump-Putin meeting

Fri Jul 07, 2017 4:21 pm
US and Russia offer rival accounts of first Trump-Putin meeting

Donald Trump repeatedly pressed Vladimir Putin on Russia’s alleged interference in the US presidential election as the two men used their much-anticipated first meeting at the G20 summit to seek to reset the battered US-Russia relationship.

But there were differing interpretations of what was said at Friday’s lengthy meeting in Hamburg, with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov saying Mr Trump had “accepted” the Russian president’s assurances that Moscow had not meddled in the election.

Rex Tillerson, the US secretary of state, said the two leaders had had “a very robust and lengthy exchange on the subject”, adding that Mr Trump had “pressed President Putin on more than one occasion regarding Russian involvement”.

He said the two leaders had agreed that the issue was “a substantial hindrance in the ability of us to move the Russian-US relationship forward”, and that while Mr Trump had raised serious questions about Russia’s actions, he was “rightly focused on how do we move forward from what may be simply an intractable disagreement”. 

In a statement released after the meeting, Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, said: “For Secretary Tillerson to say that [Russia’s interference in the US election] will remain unresolved is disgraceful — to give equal credence to the findings of the American intelligence community and the assertion by Mr Putin is a grave dereliction of duty and will only encourage Russia to further interfere in our elections in the future.”

Mr Trump has repeatedly refused to endorse the conclusions of the US intelligence community that the Kremlin was behind last year’s cyber attacks on the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. But he has come under mounting pressure from Republicans in Washington, concerned by Russia’s actions in Syria and Ukraine as well as its alleged interference in the US campaign, to raise the issue with Mr Putin.

One of those is the crisis in eastern Ukraine. Mr Lavrov said the US had agreed to appoint a special representative for the conflict, which would “create a channel” for Washington and Moscow to co-operate on implementing the Minsk accord — the agreement designed to end violence in the region.

With officials in Moscow watching in dismay as anti-Russian sentiment in the US grows, their expectations of Friday’s meeting were set low. They fell further this week, as Mr Trump’s rhetoric on Russia appeared to harden: In a speech in Warsaw on Thursday, he urged Moscow to halt its “destabilising activities” in Ukraine and cease support “for hostile regimes, including Syria and Iran”.........................
