China’s communist government may have had a significant role in Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.
Security agencies in Ukraine have discovered a huge Chinese cyber-attack on the country’s nuclear and military infrastructure, which took place the day before the war began.
After the outbreak of the war in Russia and Ukraine, the Russian Embassy in CHINA posted a video on TIKTOK about how Ukraine incites hatred towards Russia and Russians. The video was liked and approved by Chinese people!#大翻译运动#TheGreatTranslationMovement pic.twitter.com/KZfF9BhDUa

Putin invaded Ukraine with roughly 200,000 troops from three sides on February 24, attempting to seize the country for his neo-Soviet Russian empire.
Unfortunately, the Ukrainians’ valiant resistance has transformed his ill-fated mission into a massacre for his troops.
The SBU, Ukraine’s counter-intelligence service, has recently stated in The Times that the Chinese government hacked over 600 websites belonging to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry on February 23.

If the claims are true, it would imply that Communist China’s state and its leader, Xi Jinping, would be far more supportive of fellow tyrant Vladimir Putin.
Both Chinese and Russian hackers increased their activities against Ukraine in the middle of February, according to the SBU, with the hostile activity peaking the day before Putin’s invasion.
The Ukrainian Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate and the Ukrainian Hazardous Waste Investigation website were among the Ukrainian organizations targeted by Chinese hackers on February 23.
According to Tom Hegel of the American cybersecurity firm SentinelOne, the Chinese hackers didn’t seem to mind that they were being watched. They were there to perform a task as quickly as possible.

If the Chinese hackers were in Ukraine, they were doing work in support of the Russians, according to Steve Tsang, the director of the China Institute at SOAS University of London.
He pointed out that many of the Chinese hackers are members of the People’s Liberation Army, or Chinese military, which is controlled by the Communist Party of China.
