The United States suspended its cyber operations against Russia, according to American media-Liberation
Do everything so as not to offend Putin. The US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered a break in all cyberials in the country against Russia, including offensive actions, several American media reported on Sunday March 2. This break is part of a broader process of reassessment of US operations vis-à-vis Russiafor a period which must still be specified, according to information revealed by the New York Times and confirmed by NBC or CNN.
Solicited, the Pentagon did not comment, invoking the preservation of operational security. Like other clandestine operations, actions in the cyber field are practically never commented on by the authorities. « There is no greater priority for the secretary (Pete) HegSeth than the safety of the fighter in all operations, including in the cybernetic field »was content to declare a Pentagon official.
The American security advisor Mike Waltz, questioned on cnn Sunday, refuted the idea of this cyber operational break. « It was not discussedhe said. There will be all kinds of levers, the stick carrot, to get an end to this war. ”
This potential break comes as Donald Trump is driving a Historical rapprochement with Moscowstarted around the war in Ukraine. After being one of Kyiv's main supporters against Russian assault, Washington, under the leadership of its new president, seems to want to force Ukraine to accept a cease-fire without necessarily being concerned about security guarantees, which makes Moscow business. Kyiv obviously refuses to submit to the American idea.
This turnaround, decided without consultation with Europeans, plunges them into disarray As they have delegated the burden of their safety and their protection in Washington for decades. Russia is very regularly accused of driving against Western countries a so -called hybrid war, in particular to undermine their support for Ukraine, which involves physical clandestine operations and actions in immaterial, cyber or information fields.
But for Donald Trump, the United States has other more pressing subjects than Washington-Moscow rapprochement. « We should spend less time worrying about Putin, and more time worrying about the gangs of rapist migrants, the big drug caps, murderers and immigrants suffering from psychiatric disorders that enter our country – so as not to finish like Europe! »he said on the night of Sunday to Monday on the Truth Social network.
