Amid growing desperation, the Russian leadership is now threatening attacks on Western satellites.

Nokia has announced it’s exiting Russia just a day after rival Ericsson reported an indefinite suspension of its operations in the country.
“It has been clear for Nokia since the early days of the invasion of Ukraine that continuing our presence in Russia would not be possible,” wrote the company in a statement.

Ericsson has announced an “indefinite suspension” of its business in Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The uncovering of further war crimes by Russian forces in areas like Bucha and Irpin has led to additional sanctions from much of the international community. Sweden-based Ericsson says the EU’s increased sanctions played a part in its decision.
In a statement, Ericsson wrote:
“In the light of recent events and of European Union...
The US has disrupted a large global botnet operated by Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland made the announcement on Wednesday.
“Fortunately, we were able to disrupt this botnet before it could be used. Thanks to our close work with international partners, we were able to detect the infection of thousands of network hardware devices,” said Garland.
