The recent naval dispute between Russia and the UK in the Black Sea may have involved a cyberattack as well as conventional weaponry, an analysis of vessel tracking data has found.
Yesterday, Russia claimed to have fired âwarning shotsâ at the UK Royal Navy destroyer HMS Defender for being inside âRussian watersâ, although the UK Ministry of Defence denies any shots were fired at the Defender or that the ship was in such waters. The event took place off the coast of Crimea, Ukraine, which is disputed territory.
But last week, on 19 June, an international vessel-tracking system appeared to show HMS Defender and the Royal Netherlands Navyâs HNLMS Evertsen travel across the Black Sea to sail within a few kilometres of a Russian naval base at Sevastopol.
This would have been a provocative act, but the voyage never actually happened â both ships remained docked at Odessa, Ukraine, as confirmed by a live web cam feed. The tracking readings seem to have been faked, in a possible cyberattack.

Damning view of British occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Blair broke the Labour Party doing it too, which doesnât figure here.

A typically excellent article from Snyder. It belongs in a number of other topics here, including Black Lives Matter, Still.
The piece discusses the American rightâs disgusting and insidious tactic (borrowed from Putin) of using the policies against denying the Holocaust (which would correctly make Jewish students uncomfortable) to also excise discussions of reality-based topics like CRT, the 1619 Project, and the Tulsa Massacre on the grounds that they might make white students feel uncomfortable.

This seems to be a real problem as we move further away in history from events, that days set aside to remember people who died in a brutal war far too often become mindless jingoism.
